Have you been watching The Great Pottery Throw Down, thought you might like to have a go at pottery yourself, or even follow in the footsteps of its judge Rich Miller who was once potter in residence here?

Join local potter Samantha Perkins for a six-week morning pottery course, designed for beginners or those with limited experience. Learn the three core techniques – coiling, slab building, and pinching – and develop confidence working with clay while creating your own forms in a relaxed, supportive studio environment. All makes will be glazed and decorated using a variety of techniques.

Clay, tools, and decorative materials are included in the course price.
Please bring an apron, wear old clothes, and closed-toe footwear.

Every Wednesday from 22 April until 1 July – no class on Wednesday 27 May.  Total classes 10

Join us for a welcoming 10-week life drawing class designed to help you grow your skills and enjoy a regular creative practice. Each week, we’ll explore different exercises and techniques while drawing from a live model, building confidence in observation, proportion, tone, and line. Whether you’re a beginner, returning to drawing or looking to deepen your existing practice, this class offers a wonderful opportunity to slow down, focus, and nurture your creativity week by week.

Spaces are limited. Book your place today.
