Two Hour Class for Absolute Beginners - HANDBUILDING
In this fun introductory class, you will become familiar with the basics of handbuilding and learn what it is like to have a go at making a mug. We love mugs as they are used on a daily basis and become much loved items of your daily routine. Many of our students also make their designs to gift to someone they know would appreciate something made by your own hands.
Your teacher will demonstrate the process to you using the slab-building technique. We encourage you to be playful with your designs, you may wish to add your own unique handle and textures to the final piece(s).
One pot per attendee is included within this class, which we then fire and glaze for you. If you wish to keep more pots, by all means, you can, we charge £10 for each additional piece kept to cover the material and firing costs. Half of that cost then goes to charitable organisations, often in Cornwall where much of our clay comes from as a way to give back to the same environment our materials are extracted from. We do however encourage students to be as critical of their work as possible and only keep what they know they will use, or is going to sit proudly somewhere to look at, as we want to aim to be as environmentally friendly as possible and clay can only be recycled pre their firings, but not after!
There is a maximum of 10 people who attend each class.

All classes will take place in the pottery at: 11-12 Crown Works, Temple Street, London, E26QQ
Price includes all materials used in the session.
Pots will be ready usually within three weeks, but sometimes longer depending on firing schedules. You will be notified by email when your pots are ready.
We ask that you pick up or arrange for your pots to be delivered to you (for an additional fee) within one month of the original pick up email being sent out. If your pieces have not been picked up or sent within this time-frame then we regret that we will have had to give to our local community, as we are so limited on shelf space.
A welcome email with further instructions about what to expect before your class is sent around a week before your class commences. This email will be sent to the email provided at booking.
We really hope that you enjoy your workshop with us!
