Thursdays
On Thursday mornings you can come and ‘throw your own’. Penny will glaze and fire your pot and, for a small extra charge, post it to you. It’s wise to book ahead during July and August to save a long wait.
On Thursday afternoons, between 2pm and 5pm, you can come for a 3 hour session for a more in-depth experience of pottery making. Minimum 3 adults.
Weekends
Penny also runs weekend courses in the autumn and spring for those who want to get more completely immersed in the clay!
The workshop has three electric wheels and three small kilns, one gas and two electric.
We use red earthenware clay for throwing and modelling, and learn slip-trailing, pressing moulds, and explore an innovative use of colours and materials. Penny’s glaze colours reflect her surrounding landscape of blues and greens and browns. Over the two days a range of techniques and ideas is demonstrated to the group, which includes:
- Throwing on the wheel
- Hand-built forms
- Modelling with moulds
Creative expression and experimentation is encouraged.
You can come for either one day or the weekend
