Beginners Pottery Handbuilding (6-week course)


with Patrick Hayward

6-week Handbuilding and Glazing course on Tuesday Evenings, 7 - 9.30pm

Upcoming course dates:

16 Sept - 21 Oct

4 Nov - 9 Dec

We have an extensive programme of Tutored and Untutored classes throughout the week at QPAC, some of which are specifically aimed at beginners (Tuesday Afternoon and Thursday Afternoon) and others that welcome beginners but can be very busy, limiting the tutor's ability to focus on any one participant.

This 6-week beginner's handbuilding course provides participants with close attention from a dedicated tutor introducing core handbuilding techniques such as pinch pots, coiling and slab building, as well as less well known techniques such as kurinuki. One session will also focus on the glazing process.

By the end of the course, participants will feel comfortable navigating both the making and glazing studios at QPAC independently at any of our weekly sessions (tutored or untutored), and will have skills to formulate and complete their own pottery projects.

This course is a pre-paid prescribed 6-week course. If you would prefer to attend on a pay-as-you-go basis, please see our weekly pottery classes.
