About the Course

Our Children's Classes include learning a range of hand building techniques as well as throwing on the wheel. Children will also learn to decorate and glaze their pieces.

The children will take inspiration from the world around them, use sketchbooks to help them gather ideas then design and produce new and innovative outcomes that they can treasure.

These sessions are an exciting opportunity for your child to explore and develop their own creative ideas through the medium of clay.

All work is glazed and fired on site.

Younger Children’s Classes are suitable for children aged 5-11 years old (primary school attendees) and take place on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:30 - 5:30pm. Classes are £15 per session.

Older Children’s Classes are suitable for children ages 11-18 years old (secondary school attendees) and take place on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:45 - 8:15pm. Classes are £25 per session.

    CHILDREN’S CLASS TUTOR

    Julian is an experienced children’s tutor and has been teaching Children’s Classes at The Ceramic Studio for a number of years.

    Julian studied ceramics and blown glass at Manchester Polytechnic before a Crafts Council grant took him to Dartington Pottery. Building and firing salt glaze and raku kilns led to work with Pietro Maddalena in Tuscany, then to a Zurich studio and teaching art, before returning to the UK. Alongside making, he has always taught, with a focus on the creative process. For him, creativity is grounding, a vital path to happiness and connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The classes cover hand-building, wheel-throwing and decorative techniques.

  • Comfortable clothes which they don’t mind getting a bit of clay on! Layers can be a good idea as temperatures can be a little variable. All students should wear comfortable, flat shoes with non-slip soles and covered toes, and bring an apron/cover-up. Long hair should be tied back for wheel work. We also recommend that jewellery, watches and other valuables are left at home.

  • Within our Older Children’s classes we include a break with a selection of hot and cold drinks and cakes/biscuits. Our Younger Children’s Class does not include a break but children are permitted to have a drink or snack if they need it.

  • Please note that we are unable to offer refunds or catch-up sessions for any missed Children’s Classes.

  • No, we do not permit the use of mobile phones during our Children’s Classes. For full details of our Children’s Class Mobile Phone Policy please see our Student Contract here.
