Learn a new skill or develop existing skills in a well-equipped pottery studio.

Our pottery studio has:

  • 2 kilns
  • hand building benches
  • 4 types of clay
  • earthenware and stoneware glazes

What you'll learn

You'll learn:

  • hand-building techniques
  • how to use slips and underglazes to colour and decorate work
  • how to make pinch pots, tiles, coiled vessels, soft and hard slab vessels and moulded dishes

If you have some experience in throwing you'll have the opportunity to practice this.

How the course is taught

Courses are tutor-led with demonstrations and one-to-one support. 

You're encouraged to support and learn from each other through group discussions on work in progress and finished work.

What to bring

You'll need a notebook and a pen.

After the course

On completion, you'll be able to progress on to pottery courses with other providers. 

Former students have progressed to open-access studios, such as the Kiln Rooms in Peckham or Turning Earth in Haggerston.
