As many of you reading this will know, one part of what we do is teach from our workshop. Since we moved to the “not so new anymore” workshop, we have been slowly developing our workshops and courses and have a really fantastic group of students making wonderful things on a regular basis.
We teach a number of different courses, from regular day and evening classes to specific decoration courses with Alice, throwing and also have started to host workshops featuring guest makers and experts. You can find out more about all this here, and also navigate further on to look at specific workshops.
We really enjoy having folks in the workshop. The ideas and energy that the classes generate is wonderful and it feels like we are all building a small but enthusiastic community of keen potters, which is fantastic. So we wanted to highlight some of the great work going on and “big up” the skills, ideas and inventiveness of all of the students. Here are a few, but by no means all of the wonderful pieces and makers working over the last few months. Apologies if I have missed you out, it is just what I have taken photos of recently (when I remember!)





Most of these are from the Day & Evening Classes we run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In these images we have: Rossy handbulding a flower vase, Sue decorating her jug, Victoria’s wonderful wide bowl form, Alan and Dawn throwing with Amanda in the background and Caroline decorating some of her bowls.





From the top left: Casserole and Jug form by Laura and Tyrone, Sue, Sarah & Kathryn making, Rachel’s fantastic Minoan inspired sculpture and Kathryn’s completed handbuilt forms.
Finally, here’s a great picture of Alan and our chalk board on the workshop wall with some of pottery commandments we try to live by in the workshop.
