At Farmcote Pottery
With Maya Hughes
Following 2 years of intensive training at Clay College, Stoke, totalling to 6 years of experience working with clay and specialising in thrown forms on the wheel, from September I will be offering pottery classes taught from my studio in Heathfield, East Sussex.
In a six week block of classes you will gain a good understanding of the processes involved in making your own functional pottery. Starting with cylinders and bowls on the wheel, trimming the bottoms of your pots, pulling handles, all the way through to glazing.
For more intermediate learners we will hone in your skills and practice shaping, lidded jars and scaling up, etc.
I have four wheels and therefore can accommodate four people for lessons in my studio, this means my classes are closer to private classes and you will receive more of my attention. I teach with a deep care in helping you improve your skills and explore your creativity in a fun and calm environment. It will be amazing to have you on board!
Taster Sessions
This is a one off beginner taster session offering you a chance to get your hands messy and get a feel for what it’s like to throw on the wheel. You will come out with a couple of pots you have made which I will glaze and fire, ready for you to use in your home.
Bookings can be arranged to find a time suited to you, including weekends. Maximum space for 4 people.
Two hour taster sessions are £60 per person and include materials and firings.
