During these practical sessions over four days students can aim to try bigger pieces, taking advantage of overnight drying and planning the progress of their work.

Depending on the Covid situation in the summer, this course may be held outdoors in the pottery yard.

We’ll look at the various approaches to making more ambitious pottery forms at different scales. Starting with the basic discipline of repeat throwing of smaller pieces, focusing on close attention to form and consistency of technique, we’ll then move on to bigger examples, using the various techniques involved in increasing scale on the wheel, such as joining two or more pieces and throwing on coils of clay. There will also be opportunities to try some of the slip decorating techniques appropriate to leatherhard clay.

Suitable for intermediate and experienced potters.

Thursday 15th July 6-9pm; Fri 16th 2-7pm; Sat & Sun 17th & 18th July 10-5pm

This summer course ran successfully last year during Covid restrictions; I anticipate being able to follow the same Covid-safe guidelines this year. In case of unavoidable cancellation, the course fee will, of course, be fully refunded.

Course fee: £250 includes materials, drinks and light refreshments. The studio is situated in the centre of Salisbury, with many cafes, pubs and shops close by for lunches.
