This course is designed for complete beginners but anyone with experience are welcome to join.
Through this course you will learn the main hand building techniques which include pinch pots, slab work, coil pot construction, sgrafitto decoration and finally save the best to last, a go on the potter's wheel!

Beginners Level 2
This course has been designed for those that have attended our level 1 courses and now have got the pottery bug!
We do however, welcome people who haven't attended our level 1 course but some experience in pottery is required.
You will be working on some of the same techniques as in the level 1 but projects will be slightly more challenging. You will also learn new techniques such as marbling clay, pulling handles and using ceramic transfers and of course a go on the wheel is a must!
