Ceramics - Beginners plus
This course introduces & allows learners to explore the wonderful art form which is ceramics.

The course is suited ideally to people with some existing knowledge of ceramics. However, the basics of clay construction will be practised and the processes will be appropriate for both beginners and those with experience.

During the summer term our ceramics provision is less “teacher led” and encourages those with experience to develop their own ideas/project under the guidance and support of the tutor. As well as learning a range of 3 dimensional making techniques, you will also be shown how to decorate work using slips and glazes to finish a product.

We aim to provide relaxing yet purposeful, creative environments where learners can flourish, learning new skills that can enrich their lives in a multitude of ways.

Please note: This is a hand built pottery and ceramics course. Throwing will not be taught as there are not the facilities available.

Clay and glazes are provided by the centre at an initial additional cost of £10.00 per student for each course, and this is payable in cash to the tutor or the staff in the adult education office.

However, as learner project work becomes more complex, additional costs may be incurred. Your tutor will advise as appropriate.

Please wear old clothes, or an apron, and bring along a sketch/notepad and a pencil.
