Ceramics – Clay at The Ringway

Written by

Intensive hand-building ceramics courses, classes and events for adults and children.

Our community ceramics project…

We offer 8-week long hand-building courses for both adults and children each term and run holiday clubs and community events alongside our community partners. To find out more about these or sign up to our mailing list, please email your details to claygpcg@gmail.com.

OUR COURSES COVER ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WORKING WITH CLAY, FROM BUILDING 3D FORMS TO DECORATION AND GLAZING.

Our hand-building courses are great for beginners but are also suitable to those experienced with clay too. We explore different hand-building techniques; pinching, slab building and coiling. Students receive an excellent introduction to ceramics and clay sculpture. Once students have been introduced to the hand-building techniques, they then work independently with guidance and individualised tutoring from our ceramics tutor. Classes are taught in a relaxed environment.

Our courses and events are run by local Artist Lily German.

How to book onto a course

Due to demand, if you are interested in classes, you should join the mailing list. The mailing list is the first place any places get released at the beginning of each term. To join this, please email Lily at claygpcg@gmail.com . All remaining places will be sent to those on the mailing list and will go on a first-come-first-served basis.
