Our Pottery Open Studio sessions are perfect if you have had some experience working with clay before, either having graduated from one of our "Play with Clay" or wheel-throwing courses or done a course somewhere else. They are not suitable for complete beginners.
We run 4 different Open Studios each week:
- Tuesday mornings from 10am to 12.30pm
- Tuesday evenings from 7pm to 9.30pm
- Thursday mornings from 10am to 12.30pm
- Friday mornings from 9.30am to 12noon
In our Pottery Open Studio you're very welcome to come along and make whatever you want, using our equipment with the added bonus that, with the exception of Tuesday mornings one of our ceramics teachers is always on hand to offer advice or guidance. You are also very welcome, during these sessions, to use one of a our pottery wheels. You can buy either one session, or multiple sessions for a discounted price and these can be used in any of the weekly pottery sessions. Further information on our open studios can be found here - https://www.whereinspirationblooms.co.uk/potteryopenstudios
Our Pottery Open Studio sessions run weekly during term time at The Pavilion in Penn Street.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT OUR POTTERY OPEN STUDIO?
We’ve put together a brief guide as below so you know what to expect on this class. As with all of our classes if you have any other specific questions please email us on julesandcaroline@whereinspirationblooms.co.uk
- Our doors open 5 minutes before class. This gives us enough time to get the room and refreshments ready so please don’t come super early as we can’t always let you in!
- Each guest is allocated a table space to work on and you are welcome to use all of our clay tools/equipment.
- Please can we ask that you respect the end of class time, factoring time at the end of the class to clean any equipment that you have used during the session.
- Clay is available in all the sessions and is charged at cost.
- Firing is available for an additional fee.
- All of our studio glazes are brushing glazes, with small amounts of clear pouring glazes for the inside of vases or cups. A lot of our regular customers prefer to bring their own so that they can be more in control of the look of their pieces.
- We will have 5-6 wheels in the room available to use per class. At the moment that is more than enough for the number of people who are throwing during the sessions, but we will keep an eye on this.
- We endeavour to fire pieces as quickly as we can but we don’t fire up the kiln every single day so please allow 2 weeks minimum for your pieces to be fired and returned to you.
We hope all of the above makes sense and very much look forward to welcoming you to your class!
With our warmest wishes, Jules & Caroline
