Hand-Building Pottery Course

As students step into the small loft studio at Hot Fox Pottery, they will be introduced to the world of hand-building, where they can create their own unique pieces using techniques such as pinch pots, coiling, and soft and hard slabs. The course, which runs from Monday, 4 January 2027, to Monday, 8 February 2027, is designed to cater to all levels, from complete beginners to more experienced potters who can bring their own project ideas to life. With a maximum of seven people in each class, students can expect plenty of one-to-one tuition and guidance from the expert instructors.

The six-week course will cover a range of topics, including the use of various glazes and decoration techniques, allowing students to experiment and find their own style. For those who want to try their hand at throwing, an optional extra session is available in the seventh week for an additional fee. The course price includes all the necessary materials, such as clay, glazes, underglazes, and slips, although firing costs will be charged separately based on the weight of the finished work.

One of the key benefits of this course is its flexibility, with each student able to book one catch-up class per term, ensuring that they don't fall behind if they miss a session. The small class size and supportive environment also make it an ideal setting for those who prefer to work at their own pace or need extra help with a particular technique. With its focus on individual attention and creative freedom, this course is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to explore their artistic side or develop their pottery skills.

With its unique blend of guidance, flexibility, and creativity, this six-week pottery course is an excellent way to spend a Monday lunchtime, learning a new skill and producing something truly unique and personalized.
