Having taught students for many years, Selby has never had anyone who hasn’t managed to make a pot! Throughout the session, all materials will be provided, and each student will have the opportunity to have two unique pieces fired & glazed by Selby. These pieces (probably one wheel thrown pot and one coil pot) will be fired and glazed, and ready for you to collect roughly three weeks after your session. You may make more items if time allows, but you will have to choose your favourite two pieces as the rest will be consigned to the 'Bucket of Doom' to be recycled! Finished pieces can be posted for an additional charge although we prefer collection for obvious reasons. With a small group size of just 8 students, you will receive plenty of hands-on guidance, allowing for a fun learning experience in a supportive, creative environment. There will be 4 pottery wheels in the studio & your time will be split between throwing and learning the classic art of making a coil pot at our benches.
