- How to throw on the pottery wheel

- Handbuilding tecniques including pinching, coiling and slab building
- How to use underglazes to add decoration

Suitable for begginers who have never touched clay, and for those who have some experience but would like to learn more. The small group size means the class can be tailored to your needs, and Florence will be on hand the whole time to guide you through your journy with clay at your own pace.
At the end of the course, you can return to the studio to collect your finished work.
