Pottery Workshops at The Arts Station
The Arts Station is happy to provide a variety of workshops for beginner, emerging and potters of all skill levels. We offer a wide range of different workshops, check our events calendar for up coming pottery workshops and events! Please find more information on our regularly offered workshops below.
Beginner Intensive Workshop: Our intensive workshops is aimed to provide a base understanding and introduction to throwing on the wheel. The intensive workshop offers:
- 1 class a week for 4 weeks on Monday evenings
- classes are 2.5 hours long
- you will learn the basics of throwing beginner shapes on the wheel, trimming, finishing and glazing your pieces
- this workshop requires no prior knowledge or experience in ceramics
- the aim of this workshop is to provide participants with the most comprehensive understanding of the pottery process and due to the nature of ceramics a certain amount of failure is to be expected. The goal is to learn as much as possible while having fun, not to produce a significant body of work
- no finished pieces are guaranteed

- A casual 2 hour introduction to the wheel on Wednesday evenings

- Due to the nature of ceramics, the first attempts can be very challenging and therefore no finished pieces are guaranteed
