Friday nights, 6pm - 9pm for 4 weeks, starting on the 7th of March
Suitable for beginners.

Join David Kenny for a 4-week course in the basics of making pottery.

This class will introduce you to techniques for hand-built pottery, wheel-thrown pottery, glazing and firing. It will give you a great foundation in a variety of construction techniques, and there is even an exciting raku firing at the end!

Ideal for those who haven't touched clay since school and want to learn or refresh in these techniques.

Cost of materials & firing is extra.
