Free Style Hand-Building (experienced potters only)

Cost – £35 per person

Practice will be essential for the development of your pottery. These sessions allow for just that, giving you the opportunity to practice and hone your skills and personal style at your own pace.

These sessions are available to students who have completed a 6 week course at Wanstead Pottery, or to proficient potters who would simply like the opportunity to practice. Please note, these sessions are NOT suitable for beginners as they are untaught, although I will be on hand to give advice, if required.

If you intend to work on a piece over a number of weeks then it is advised that your subsequent sessions are booked in advance, and ideally within two weeks of the first. This is because your work cannot be stored indefinitely, and because studio storage space is limited.

Clay will be provided and charged at £5 per kilo to be fired (as an example, an average sized mug might cost approximately £1) You will have access to the select range of studio dipping glazes for all work glazed during the practice sessions. Should you wish to glaze your pieces using the extensive range of brush on glazes, the charge per kilo of clay used will be slightly more.

All pots created during these sessions must be made using the studio clay provided. Only pots produced in the studio may be fired in the studio.

Please be aware that due to size restrictions of the kiln, there will be a limit to the size of the pieces that can be fired.

Please refer to the Terms and Conditions on the bookings page for information relating to the cancellation policy.
