Ceramics Taster
Learn to make pottery from scratch using three hand-building techniques in this fun and relaxing session. You'll be amazed what you can do with some clay and your own hands!
Are you new to ceramics and wanna learn about it in a fun, relaxed environment? This pottery experience is designed to give you a taster of what's involved in making pottery from scratch, by hand and without the use of a wheel, known as hand-building.
You’ll learn three hand-building techniques; pinch pots, coiling and slab building.
What will I make?
In our ceramics taster sessions, you'll usually make:
1 or 2 small plant pots using the pinch pot technique
A small pot using the coiling technique
A dish or tea light holder using the slab building technique
However you will have the freedom to make something different if you prefer to.
If there’s time (and there generally is) you’ll also have the opportunity to decorate your work with your choice of brightly coloured slips. Once made, your pieces will be left with Trylla to be dried out and fired all ready for you to collect after three to four weeks.
Taster Sessions
This session runs on alternate Sundays from 12:00 to 15:00
This will include a 30 minute break halfway through the session. You can use this to either nip and grab a coffee or snack nearby, or continue to work on your pieces - it's up to you!
