This six-week course is an introduction to working with clay through both wheel throwing and handbuilding. It’s open to beginners as well as anyone looking to refresh or build on their skills. Each class will include demonstrations alongside plenty of time to work at your own pace with guidance and feedback.
We’ll cover the basics of forming, joining, and surface decoration, with an emphasis on learning through making and experimentation. Students are encouraged to explore different approaches, develop their own ideas, and become comfortable working in the studio. Class sizes are kept small to allow for individual support. All materials, glazes, and firings are included in the course fee.
For any groups of 8 or smaller, please email craft@harbourfrontcentre.com as we may be able to accomodate you.
