Pottery for Wellbeing: Daytime and Evening courses

  • 5 weeks
  • 6:00 pm — 8:00 pm
  • From £125

In this 5 week course you will use different hand building techniques to create 2 – 3 pottery pieces. Getting hands – on with pottery offers a variety of health and wellbeing benefits. Pottery engages your body and mind in the making process and uses methodical and repetitive processes which help to reduce stress and anxiety. Focusing on the making process helps us to slow down and be more present. 

Please note: Although this is not a qualification course you will be required to take photos of your work and reflect on what you have learnt on this course 

By the end of the course you will be able to: 

  • Use different hand building techniques such as pinch and coil
  • Use underglazes to decorate work 
  • Use glazes safely in the studio
