WEEKEND WORKSHOPS


Saturday and Sunday 10am – 4.00 pm

No experience is needed to be creative and enjoy Nina’s weekend workshops. Beginners and those with more experience are encouraged to use the space to be creative through a range of techniques including handbuilding and throwing. There is a maximum of eight people, allowing plenty of opportunity for individual attention and time to practice using a potters wheel.

For participants who wish to fire and glaze what they’ve made, Nina is happy for you to arrange a time to do this at a later date. There is a small extra charge for this.

Cost - £140 (this includes 5lbs of clay and tea/coffee throughout the day). Please bring your own lunch or there are several cafes nearby.
