8 Week Beginners Foundation Pottery Course

Join us for a fun and relaxing course learning how to create beautiful ceramics with the wheel and by hand-building! This 8-week beginner-friendly course is perfect if you want to learn the foundations of pottery and practise with the watchful and encouraging eye of our experienced, passionate tutors.

You'll be part of a small, friendly group, which means you'll get lots of personal attention and encouragement every single step of the way.

There's no rushing here — just a warm, supportive space where you're free to explore, experiment, and grow at your own pace. Over eight weeks, you'll follow our step-by-step method to learn how to use the wheel and handbuild to create your own pottery pieces — from preparing and centring the clay right through to trimming, decorating, and glazing them into beautiful finished pieces you'll be truly proud of. By the end of the course, you'll have a solid foundation in pottery and a real taste of different disciplines to inspire your onward creative journey.

Whether you're looking for a new creative outlet, a mindful escape from the everyday, or simply something fun and sociable to try, this course offers all of that and so much more. Pottery has a wonderful way of quietening the mind and bringing you fully into the present moment — and we think you'll absolutely love it.

No experience is needed — just come ready to get your hands dirty and have a great time!
