From the beginnings of kneading the clay till you place your finished piece of work on the table, is an extremely personal and sensory journey, only pottery can offer. Pottery is an experience that is more than just a hobby – it quietens one’s mind, and can be very therapeutic.
Basic Course –
Hand-building
Beginners will learn how to prepare the clay, either by kneading or wedging. Basic hand-building techniques such as coiling, slab work, pinching and solid form will be introduced, after which the student will choose a technique to form their first art piece. Decoration techniques such as simple "slip application" of the glaze will be taught to enable students to colour up their art work creatively.

Wheel Throwing
Beginners will learn how to prepare the clay, either by kneading or wedging. They will then be introduced to the fundamentals of working on the electric wheel such as centering the clay, and throwing basic cylinders. Decoration techniques such as simple "slip application" of the glaze will be taught to enable students to colour up their art work creatively.
Those who already have prior experience with wheel throwing can continue to refine their skills by producing work of more challenging forms. At this stage, students are strongly encouraged to think of a concept, plan their work and discuss with the teacher on how to best execute their ideas.
