Beginners/intermediate courses 

People of all abilities are welcome to join. Although these courses are aimed at developing beginner’s skills, we will tailor to everyone’s capabilities. These sessions are held in the class area of The Kiln Rooms, where we like to create a comfortable, fun environment. Over the first 4-5 weeks everyone covers basic techniques such as throwing on the wheel, hand building, mould work, decorating and glazing. After this you are encouraged to develop your own projects and ideas with the support of the teacher and others on the course. The cost of a 12 week course at one of our Peckham studios is £370, this doesn’t include the cost of materials, which is £5 per 1kg of fired pot (e.g. a teacup is around £1) (T&Cs) We also have porcelain/crank/black clay available, these clays cost £10 per 1kg of fired pot.  Our Farringdon courses cost £390, this doesn’t include the cost of materials, which is £5 per 1kg of fired pot.  We have a waiting list for evening courses but often have spaces available on weekday morning courses. Everyone enrolled in a 12 week course can book onto our ‘drop-in’ sessions. This provides you with additional studio time. More info here.
