Student progress - 6 week pottery course

It has truly been an incredible journey observing the progress of those enrolled in the 6-week hand-building course at our studio. Witnessing our students not only acquire new pottery skills but also refine and customize them to create remarkable pieces has been a delight. Many participants have shared experiencing an immediate boost in their overall well-being and sense of relaxation during each session. The tranquil ambiance of the studio, complemented by soft piano melodies from our playlist, has effectively facilitated a soothing environment that has allowed students to immerse themselves in the meditative art of handcrafting pottery. Throughout the weekly classes, they have delved into the techniques of pinching and coiling pots, as well as constructing various forms through slab building. Venturing into the realm of creativity, they have explored the applications of underglaze decals, ceramic stains, brush-on and dip glazing. Each week, they meticulously assessed their creations, dedicating conscious efforts to refining the finishes under the guidance of Mat, our skilled resident ceramic artist here at Earth Sand & Fire.

Our studio is easily accessible from North Wales, Wrexham, Chester, Ellesmere Port, Wirral and the surrounding areas. Gift vouchers are also available if you would like to gift someone an unforgettable experience in clay. The next 6 week course will begin in September 2024 details of which can be found here 6 WEEK HANDBUILDING COURSE
