New Year Pottery Mornings: Handbuilding Class + Throwing Taster (6 weeks)

6 weeks of handbuilding pottery, plus a taster of throwing, with our resident artist and ceramicist Sharon Giles.
About this Event

Create your own bespoke ceramics led by experienced tutor Sharon Giles who will teach basic handbuilding skills and more advanced techniques in the welcoming atmosphere of our dedicated pottery studio at Hat Works. You’ll have the opportunity to create several pieces with inspiration from Sharon or by exploring your own projects.

During one of the weeks Sharon will also offer a throwing taster session, allowing you to throw your own cylinder pot.

The class itself and the pottery created make a thoughtful, unique gift! Several attendees have brought along friends or partners or given as a gift in a card, available in our shop. All skill levels welcome.

''Great tutor! Lovely group of people. Small group. Really relaxed approach that encouraged us to experiment with the clay.''
