Course details

Have you ever thought about being able to make pottery gifts to give to family and friends? Maybe you want to place your coffee cup on a coaster you have created yourself? Perhaps you want to enjoy the fact that making pottery can help you to relax and deal with everyday stress? If so, then this course may be just what you are looking for. Come along and find out more about the skills and techniques involved in making your own pottery, have a go at making something small to take away with you, discover what our adult learning centres are like and meet some of our team.

What are you doing to keep learners safe?

The safety of our learners and staff is our top priority and we’ve made some big changes to our centres, from socially-distanced training rooms to staggered start times. Although things will look different, our staff will be as friendly and helpful as ever and we’re really excited to welcome learners back.

If you’re concerned about visiting one of our centres, please get in touch so we can discuss it with you.

What will I learn?

What can this course lead to?

Once you’ve attended this course you’ll be in a position to decide whether you wish to continue to learn more about pottery.
