Courses

Commit a few hours each week to build real pottery skills — wheel throwing, hand-building and glazing with steady guidance.

How courses work

Small groups, steady progress

Our courses run in blocks of eight weeks. You join the same time slot each week, work alongside a familiar group, and receive individual feedback as your skills develop.

Studio tools, glazes and kiln firing of course work are included. Clay is charged separately at €15 per 10 kg — most students use one bag over a full block.

  • Maximum six students per class
  • All levels welcome — beginners start at the bench
  • Tea and biscuits during each session
  • Miss a week? Catch up during open studio (with booking)
