Tickets & info ↗

A four-week daytime beginners' course on your own potter's wheel, taught by Melanie Made Mud. Each session starts with clay preparation and a demonstration, then time to practise with help as you need it: centring and throwing beakers and bowls, turning and adding a handle to make a cup, more throwing, then glazing. Glazed pieces are ready to collect about two weeks after the course.

Wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting messy, tie long hair back and keep nails short. Check the session dates with Chepstow Art Space when booking.
