Potter's wheel experience For the time being, we're keeping class sizes to a minimum of x4 participants per instructor. We're blessed with ample studio space and will social distance participants accordingly. On arrival you'll be offered a warm (socially distanced!) welcome from either Jon or his wife and fellow maker Sarah. Following an easy to follow, five step potter's wheel demonstration, you'll each take a turn to throw one or two pots on the wheel. Needless to say, the activity makes for a fab spectator sport so you'll have great fun watching each other wrestling the spinning mud! Your professional potter will be with you, at a safe distance for the whole of your experience, gently guiding you through the five easy steps to success. The whole experience lasts 1.5 hrs and if you are fortunate enough to have produced x2 pots, you'll be asked to choose your favourite to be fired and glazed. (If you cant decide, the extra pot can be purchased at 1/2 price) You wont be able to take your creation away on the day, it will need to dry thoroughly before it goes in the kiln. Your pot will be fired twice, glazed and available for collection from the Pottery approx. 4-6 weeks later. P+P can be arranged at £5 per pot (UK)

We will begin with an introduction to Sri Lankan cooking- what are the basics, common ingredients and where to source them in the UK. We will then proceed to make two dishes together. Let us know in advance if you have any dietary requirements. Sri Lankan cuisine is vegan friendly! When the curries are bubbling and the rice is cooked, we welcome you to taste test your food! You can package it and take it home to share with friends and family or have a seat at our table and experience some real Sri Lankan hospitality.

I specialise in slipware pottery thrown on a potters wheel (of which there are 4). The pots are decorated with the coloured liquid clay (slip) that provides a wonderful fluid palette to create a wide range of decorative styles. The great benefit of this course is that by using slips we are able to make and decorate the pots in the same lesson as the pots are decorated in their raw, unfired state. You therefore don't need to return to decorate the pots at another lesson, unless you want to of course! The one-off lesson is suitable for adult absolute beginners as well as those revisiting skills that may have got rusty. If you have a particular project you want to try out (e.g. flower pot, mug, jug) then we will discuss how you can achieve that in the time available but feel free to let me know beforehand with ideas / pictures. Pottery is a very broad subject and it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start, but if you just want to “have a go at pottery” then we can generally fit in a go at throwing some pots of different styles / forms. The aim will be to have made at least one decorated pot you can either take home (in raw clay state) at the end of the lesson or wait for it to be fired (approx. 3 weeks) for collection or posted at cost. Other things to note Clay can be a messy business! I have aprons and towels but you may want to consider the following: • Clothes - the oldest you have. We’ll be using earthenware clay which is quite unforgiving on clothing. • Nails - best if cut but not a real issue.

Other dates and times available on request. In this half-day class you will have 1.5 hours on a pottery wheel (with a wheel each) with tuition from Chris to help you throw and decorate a few bowls each. In the other half of the experience you will have 1.5 hours of glass fusing taster class with Sarah in which you will create a few pieces of glass eg: jewellery, coasters, sun-catchers, Xmas tree decorations. In both pottery and glass, your pieces will then be fired in the kilns after the experience has finished - you can arrange collection or postage (if in UK) when pieces are ready. We are quite flexible on dates and times for classes so please ask if you'd like to schedule a different date. We also run whole-day classes and individual glass or pottery classes too - many options available. Other things to note Wear appropriate clothing for getting a bit messy in pottery. We do provide aprons but you might get a bit of clay on you.
