Fees:
Monday afternoon

Beginners will learn the basic techniques of working with clay & making pottery i.e. Wedging clay: Thumb pots (forming): Coiling: Slab building: Press moulding: slip moulding: Slipware decoration: Texturing: Glazing and Basic design considerations: Wheel throwing is also taught in my class, but this comes later.
More experienced students work on their own projects both large and small, from Wall plaques: Sculptures both figurative and abstract: Garden and/or indoor pots/planters (free standing and/or wall mounted):
Kitchen ware: Utilitarian and/or aesthetic pieces: and almost any design imaginable. The limitations are
a) the size of the kiln (33 inches high) and ones imagination.
I also hold a Raku day in my garden for any interested student. (Raku is an ancient Japanese method of making and firing primitive pottery where pieces are made and bisque fired at The Fold, in readiness for glaze firing on Raku Day using a simple gas or wood fired kiln in the open air)
