ASHBROOK — WATERROW — SOMERSET
Were you inspired by ‘The Great Pottery Throwdown‘?
Ashbrook Ceramics offers beginners tuition on an individual or small group basis for adults. Go home with an understanding of clay, throwing or other forms of building with clay. Once fired, your work can be sent to you by secure post.
One-to-One — experience days
Our sessions are aimed at individuals or couples so that everyone gets lots of personal tuition. It’s all practical and we do not separate learning from doing. Our years of experience running a regular pottery group has enabled us to understand a beginners’ needs.
You will explore and learn about different types of clay and their properties, as well as types of decoration. You will be introduced to the most useful tools and their purpose as well as the process of firing.
We don’t aim to be trendy or fashionable but there is something to be said for the effects of working with clay and this is explored in various articles about pottery and mindfulness.
Edge of Exmoor
