Pottery Vases or Vessel
Come and join us in a Coiling Session.
Coiling is a traditional handbuilding technique in ceramics where long, snake-like coils of clay are rolled and stacked to create pottery vessels.
Coiling is one of the oldest methods of pottery-making, dating back over 8,000 years to the Neolithic era. This technique involves rolling out clay into long, cylindrical pieces (coils) and layering them to construct a vessel. The coils can be smoothed together for a seamless surface or left exposed for a textured effect. This method allows for greater flexibility in shaping the pottery, making it ideal for creating both functional and sculptural forms.
During this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn basic skills of shaping and designing using real clay. We will be using a white clay which has a slight gritty natural texture.
Your vessel will then be bisque fired, glazed with a choice of colour glaze available and fired again.
We will notify you with Dates and Times available for collection.
Beginner-friendly. No prior art skills needed, you can come to learn, have fun, connect, chat and sip!
All workshop materials are supplied.
Aprons are available to protect your clothing if required.

Pottery Breakage
Clay is a fickle medium, we take great care in looking after everyone's pieces. Pottery can break for many reasons. No refunds are provided in the unfortunate event that your pottery breaks or cracks in the kiln. Pottery is a very delicate process.
