Courses at Hempmill
Weekly Pottery Classes
At Hempmill Pottery we run high quality daytime and evening classes with a maximum of 8 people per class, taught by Richard, a professional potter and selected member of the Craft Potters Association. Richard is a qualified teacher who has taught adult education for over 25 years. He gives demonstrations, workshops and master classes nationally.
Classes are suitable for all abilities from beginners to improvers, and include group demonstrations and one to one tuition. All classes include tea, coffee and cake.
Classes run in sync with school terms; two 6-week blocks per term with one or two weeks in between each class, with a longer break in summer.
We currently run Tuesday morning, Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning and Wednesday evening classes.
The fee for each 6-week block is £285, payable in advance. This covers all tuition, materials and firing costs. Particularly large pieces may incur an extra charge.
Students have access to four different clays, electric and gas reduction firing and a wide range of glazes as well as specialist projects including pit firing.
We also offer specialist masterclasses and summer schools; please sign up to our newsletter for information on future events, or email us go on the waiting list for full classes (current students have priority booking).
