About this Event
About Induction Tickets
Please note, you only need attend one induction before deciding if you would like to become a regular.
Regulars pay from as little as £5 to do a mixed media cold finish; £7 to do their own clay project; or £10 on our small but mighty potters wheels and on the Little Pot Production line.
If you buy a "Week 1. Throwing and/or Decorating" ticket, you'll join us for the throwing stage of pot making on the Little Pot Production Line. Or, if you prefer to work on your own project, there will also be a selection of paints and mixed media to decorate pre-fired pieces. Week 1 sessions are July 8th & 22nd.
If you buy a "Week 2. Trimming and/or Hand Building" ticket, you'll join us for the turning stage of pot making on the Little Pot Production Line. Or, there will also be a wide selection of tools and equipment for hand building your own project. Week 2. sessions are July 1st & 15th.
About Us
We are a small group of 4 to 8 regulars who meet most Wednesdays to catch up and get stuck in.
Some of us are here for:
- the clay, the adventure and the practice;
- the easy social connection;
- the cake.
Whether you are a complete beginner or are an experienced clay enthusiast, you are welcome to join our Little Pot Production Line or to work on your own project. We have a wide range of tools and equipment so you can pinch, slab, coil, sculpt, carve etc. We also have some small but mighty Small Ceramics wheels on the Little Pot Production line, which you're welcome to join. Whatever you decide to do, instruction or causal help is always at hand if wanted.
Little Pot Production
Our Little Pot Production Line is a great way to learn and practise throwing, turning and pot doodling. Pots that make it through the firing go into the Little Pot Shop, which is helping raise money for the amazing local charity that is, Soft Touch Arts.
We use the Small Ceramics wheels because their stability and geared motors make for an authentic throwing experience. The torque is such that the wheel remains steady when you most need it to be. In fact, the Small Ceramics wheels are so good that the skills, approaches and principles that we use on them can be directly transferred to throwing bigger.
If you’ve never thrown before, just focus on getting a feel for it. The best approach is to get stuck in, get into the zone, chase your flow state, laugh at the funny bits and let the magic in.
