Do you want to get creative with clay without the commitment of a 6-week pottery course? Spend a morning or afternoon hand-building and create a finished pot to be glazed and fired.
You will learn
During this session, have a go at creating your own pot, learning how to form, join, texture and add colourful decoration to clay.
Each Handbuilding Taster session will focus on a different project which you will be encouraged to interpret in your own style.
Some examples of what you might create are: bowls, plates, plant pots or cups. If you want to know this month’s project, please contact education@harleyfoundation.org.uk before booking.
You will need
This is an adult session, perfect for complete beginners, or those who have attended any of our other introductory courses. You must be aged 14+ to attend, all under 18’s must be accompanied by a paying adult.
We recommend trimming your nails prior to the session, removing any jewellery, and tying back long hair.
Additional information
The session cost includes all materials, tools and clay, plus glazing and firing your finished piece.
We will contact you when your pots are ready to collect from our museum, this can take up to 6-weeks. If you haven’t heard from us within this time, please contact us.
