This experimental course is designed for those that are interested in working with clay in a variety of methods and processes and have little previous experience of the material. The course will explore the potential of making in clay, its inherent properties and producing artefacts that can be taken home once fired.
During the course you will have the opportunity to learn the basics of using the wheel. Learning how to throw to create cylinders and functional tableware. You will also be encouraged to bring materials and research during the course that contributes to their learning and practice. Work will be glazed and fired on site.
This course is an ideal opportunity for both students and professionals looking to increase their knowledge of materials, processes and widen their portfolio.
You will be expected to collect your work after the course is complete to ensure the pieces are given time to dry out before they are kiln-fired.
Please note: this is a 12 week course with course registration fee of £30.00 and a studio material charge of £60.

"I left the army in August 2016 after serving as a front-line medic for 7 years. I decided to visit the college to explore my options as I knew I wanted to pursue a career as a vet. I chose to study an Access to Higher Education course with pathways in Chemistry, Biology and Applied Science- alongside my GCSE maths and English. The staff at the college have been very supportive. Their industry experience and depth of knowledge has been invaluable to my journey. I recently had an interview at the University of Bristol and was offered a place at the School of Veterinary Sciences – one of only 6 in the UK. The college provided me with a stepping stone to my desired career."Rebecca Williams
