10 Week Pottery Course

Dates: April 29th, May 6th, 13th, 20th, Break, June 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, July 1st, 8th.

1.30am - 4.30pm

Location: Whitstone, Cornwall EX22

At the end of the course you will glaze and fire your favourite pots. The course fee includes up to 8 glazed and fired pots. Additional items can be fired for a small fee per pot.

Existing students have priority to re-book. If you would like to join a class, please message me and when a space becomes available I can let you know.

In my professional studio, we will cover all the steps of making pots on a potter’s wheel, including clay preparation, throwing, turning and glazing. If you are a beginner we will focus on the fundamentals of throwing, for the more advanced we might learn about plates, jugs, mugs, handles and decoration. It very much depends on your level and what you want to learn. I try to make it relaxed, fun and informative!

All clay and glaze materials are provided. Each student has use of a high quality Shimpo wheel and in addition, slab rolling and hand-building facilities are also available for those who wish.

Class sizes are small - there are only four places per class - so everyone is guaranteed a lot of individual attention as well as plenty of time to experiment and play. I work with each student to develop their own individual skills and enjoy helping everyone make their best work in their own style.

Here’s some nice reviews from past students…

'I would highly recommend Rebecca's classes. They are truly in-depth sessions on different processes of creating pottery. Rebecca is very intuitive as a pottery teacher and it is pure joy just to watch her step-by-step guidance in the classes.''

“The course with Rebecca was just perfect. She is a natural, gentle teacher, she made me feel at ease and I truly entered in a bubble of mindful time when in her studio. The whole learning process was made effortless and so pleasant. Rebecca is a super talented artist, with an aesthetic eye that places her work on a different level. She is dedicated and easy to learn from. I have made the most wonderful pottery. Very personal and very wonky, but somehow the Rebecca effect was infused into everything and they all look so amazing. I really would do her courses on repeat if I could.”

“I've attended two of Rebecca's pottery courses and I've learnt so much. I have completed other courses before but I learnt the most from Rebecca. She is a great teacher and very patient. Her studio is also a lovely calm place to be”.
