ABOUT THE CLASS:

During this once off class you will learn how to make your own ceramics from clay. We will show you how to assemble your piece, followed by how to sculpt and attach clay to your ceramics to give them character. Pottery tools will be provided and we will guide you on choosing the best tool to use as well as using your fingers and hands to sculpt your pieces. During this process you will learn how to manipulate the clay in order to create your desired piece. Once you are done with your pieces, you will have the option to choose your glazes for your pieces from our glaze selection. We will then fire your pieces, once they are dry, and glaze them for you. At the end of the class, you will have a deeper love and appreciation for pottery, and you will walk away feeling relaxed and restored after disconnecting and being creative.

The class can be hosted from either our Home Studio in Sandown or our Working Studio in Waterfall, Midrand.

Quick Overview

Pottery is an incredibly therapeutic activity, which allows you to explore your creativity with your hands and make some beautiful ceramics.

During our beginners course we will provide step-by-step, fully guided sessions where we will teach you various pottery techniques such as pinching, slab work, coiling and glazing. During the course you will be able to use these techniques to creative your own pieces such as mugs, plates, vases, bowls or where ever your imagination takes you.
