Bespoke Pottery Lessons
Join me for a unique journey into the world of pottery guided by an exceptionally passionate teacher. At Black Shed Pottery I pride myself on providing unique and tailored lessons in hand built pottery or on the potters wheel.
Limited class numbers ensure that each participant, regardless of experience receives personalised attention and guidance.
All the necessary materials including high-quality New Zealand clay, aprons, all of the tools and equipment needed.
Hand Building
In my hand-built pottery lesson, you'll have the opportunity to explore the beautifully tactile world of clay, that opens endless opportunities for your artistic expression.
I will guide you through various hand-building techniques such as pinch, coil, and slab construction.
My studio can host groups of up to 10-12 people and I can cater for birthdays, hens/stag parties or just for the fun of it.
Potters Wheel
In my Potters Wheel lesson you will be shown how to center the clay, necessary to create balanced and symmetrical forms. I will demonstrate and assist you in shaping the clay into various pottery forms, such as bowls, cups, or vases.
I will explain the different stages of clay drying and firing processes.
For a maximum of 2 people, the lesson promises to be a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
Choose either a hand building or pottery wheel workshop.
Workshops available Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays unless otherwise agreed.
