Learn from Freya Bramble-Carter

Designed for complete beginners, Freya covers all the key materials and tools needed to start creating pottery at home, before introducing two projects to practice different techniques. Beginning with a small ceramic pinch bowl, Freya shows how to work the clay by hand into different forms before progressing to a larger ceramic flower vase, made using the coiled technique; a method used to create larger pieces without the need for a potter’s wheel. The final lessons focus on different ceramic finishes, showing how to paint and varnish final pieces which are all air dried at home, so no professional kiln is needed.

Spotlight on Hand Built Pottery

It can be quite intimidating when you’re starting out working with clay, so I’m really thrilled to have designed a class that you can take in the privacy of your own home that will help you build in confidence.
