Foundation Taster Ceramics Hand Building Monday

Join us for a 4-week introductory ceramics course at our well-established studio, where we blend a variety of clays, techniques, and glazes. With experienced instructors dedicated to providing quality education, you’ll gain foundational skills in a fully equipped environment.

Classes will cover essential techniques such as hand-building, including pinch pots, coil vessels, slab construction, and surface decoration. Participants can explore diverse methods or focus on specific interests, with projects designed for both functional and non-functional outcomes.

These classes serve as a perfect introduction, allowing you to decide if you want to pursue further ceramics education through our intermediate offerings. Each session is 3 hours long, giving you ample time to dive deep into each technique while honoring the integrity of the clay and the creativity of the maker.

Connect with fellow creatives and fall in love with clay in a fun, informal setting! Please note that firing is not included; it is charged at $10 per kg for bisque and glaze firing.

Wk 1 -  Pinch Pots

Wk 2 - Coil Pots

Wk 3 - Slab platters

Wk 4 - Glazing

PLEASE NOTE there is a 2-week gap between weeks 3 &  4 to ensure all work dries slowly, is fired and is ready to be glazed.

If you are a return student your projects will be an extension of what you learn in the first 4 weeks.  You will be offered a choice of projects to work on guided by both the facilitator and your research using drawing and journal work.   

PLEASE BOOK WISELY!  I will be unable to refund any cancellations, you can transfer your ticket to a friend.  To avoid disappointment please do not ask for a refund, please understand that a facilitator is being paid with other outgoings and numbers (your booked spot) is required to keep my little business afloat.  

Thanks for understanding

Dani Salvo
