Join Caitlin in her Lostwithiel Studio to for a relaxed and informative 8 week course where we learn the fundamentals of handbuilding, working towards making a series of useful homewares, whilst learning confidence with clay and all the different techniques, all glazed with Caitlin’s bespoke glazes.

Learning clay preparation, pinching, slab building, slump moulds, tile making, coiling, surface decoration, combining the techniques, and then glazing.
Over the 8 weeks we would aim to make and fire up to 6 pieces to take home at the end of the course, (plates, bowls, spoons, mugs or goblets, vases etc).
Workshops will be run in Lostwithiel, PL220HG.
All clay, tools and glazes are provided. I provide carefully selected hand made glazes. Underglazes and slips are also available.
