Masterclasses 2026
For information about masterclasses with Richard St John Heeley in 2026, come back soon.
Beginners Taster Sessions
The next tasters are Wednesday 4th June and Saturday 7th June 10am-1pm.
You will start straight away hand building a cup to introduce you to using clay, then wedging and preparing for throwing, before starting on throwing simple shapes, and learning the basics of making bowls, beakers and cups. Each student has their own wheel, and all tools and materials are provided. The session will be made up of demonstrations and one–to-one tuition. Constant observation & feedback from Richard will ensure you get the most out of the session. We will glaze and fire your two best pots for you to pick up later.
The cost of the day is £85 which includes materials, firing and plenty of tea, coffee and homemade biscuits. Maximum 8 people per class.
If you would like to book a taster day, go on the waiting list for next term’s classes, or go on our mailing list for news about summer schools and future events, please email Lucy on hempmillpottery@gmail.com.
We may have new spaces available in our weekly pottery classes on Tuesday mornings, Tuesday evenings, Wednesday mornings and Wednesday evenings, starting 10/6/25.
