£150.00

Join Caitlin in her Lostwithiel Studio to for a relaxed and informative 4 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.

  • Monday nights from 6.30-9pm

  • Learning pinch pots, slab building, coiling, surface decoration and then combining the techniques.

  • Caitlin will then bisque and glaze all the pots for you, to be returned to you before Christmas.

  • Over the 4 weeks we would aim to make and fire up to 4 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.

  • Highlights: Lowest price for workshop in comparison, unlimited tea and coffee, beautiful glazes, friendly and supportive atmosphere, free parking on site, bespoke workshop space & further workshop opportunities after completion available.
