  • People’s Pottery Class – Student Projects from 2018

    Here are some results from People’s Pottery Class, our regular 12-week evening and weekend pottery workshops. Most of the pieces here were made in the winter term this year (2018). There is a bunch of plates made with hump moulds and few pieces thrown on potter’s wheel, examples of slip decoration and marbling.

    We like to work with glaze, and encourage pottery students to experiment with form and decoration. One can see that with time  projects become more experimental and confident. Some works in the gallery were made by students who have attended a class regularly for several years. Others were made by students taking pottery for the first time after joining our 12-week course. This small selection of pieces is here to give you an idea of what can be made in our studio during our regular weekend and evening pottery classes.

    We are excited to see what will summer term students come up with, follow us for the updates on our social media.

    More information about our pottery classes are on People’s Pottery Class page.

     

  • New People’s Pottery Class – Thursday Evening

    We are happy to announce that we will run new People’s Pottery Class sessions on Thursday evening, which is now open for bookings. The class will be run by Lenka Kalafutova, ceramics artist and maker. Currently Lenka runs successful and popular Ceramics Studio Co-op throwing on potter’s wheel sessions.

    Lenka’s practice involves slab building, tile making, street art and print, and we look forward to see where she will take her first People’s Pottery group.

    There is one more week to subscribe.

    If you are up for People’s Pottery on other days, please check the dates here.

  • Towards Christmas – People’s Pottery Autumn Term

    It’s exciting time at Ceramics Studio Co-op, and despite it’s not easy to start something this ambitious we have been doing well! Our favourite People’s Pottery classes are running busier and busier, (but not overcrowded). We enjoy sharing fun of working with clay for the first time with some and tricks of the trade with those who already know a lot. Shelves are getting busy, tests are done, and we are about to start glazing!

    November is a season of pre-Christmas making and many students and enthusiasts will join classes to make presents for their friends and family. It is both a good deal and great fun. We look forward to share images of things produced!

    Further at the beginning of December Ceramics Studio Co-op will host couple of dedicated Christmas making sessions. We are now doing our last experiments on ideas of what could be produced. We do take festive season seriously!

    Of course an important dish on our festive menu is pre-planned December Open Studios with finest works from young ceramics artists and makers. Sign up to our newsletter and be first to know the dates.
