Our Beginner’s wheel course provides a solid foundation for working on the potter?s wheel. Students will learn our unique Slow Clay method (TM) inspired by Japanese techniques that are ergonomically sound.

These methods were developed by Slow Clay founder, Jane Sawyer and based on methods she learnt as an apprentice in Japan. Using our techniques students come to know the ?power of slow? where movements are mindful and planned to be economical whilst having the most effect.

Starting your pottery journey with these tried and true techniques will give you the best and safest possible foundation and provide longevity for you.

Beginner’s start with a formal curriculum structure and gradually move into individual learning as their skills permit, all within a framework of open-ended enquiry, non-judgement and personal design curiosity.

Students learn the full ceramic process: making, finishing, decorating and *glazing and collect their fired pieces a few weeks after term finishes.

Please note:
