This summer we are inviting budding potters aged 9-16 to our 4 day pottery class in the heart of Lancaster for a week of craft, creativity and fun.

We will be using a combination of slab building and sculptural techniques to build our own sculptural story boxes over 4 mornings 10-12pm Monday to Thursday. 

This course is suitable for all levels and ages 9-16, as the specifics of the project can be catered to the individual. We will ensure that everyone leaves having made a box they’re proud of.

At the studio we pride ourselves on teaching young people the traditional skills of ceramics, showing them a full range of materials, tools and techniques. 

All pieces will be fired and glazed ready for collection six weeks after the course.
