● A craft at Handsel
·
Four rooms, one studio
Wheel, hand-building and glazing in a studio with six wheels and two kilns.
OUR APPROACH
How we teach it.
We teach clay the slow way: centring, pulling and trimming until your hands understand the material. Every class ends in the kiln, so what you make here is food-safe and yours to use.
Made in this room.
A few pieces from recent classes. Yours will look different, which is rather the point.
I came in thinking I wasn't creative. By the end I'd made two little cylinders I'm absurdly proud of.
CLASSES
In this craft.
One-day workshops to try it, courses to make it a habit.
Taught by someone
who still makes.
Every class in this craft is led by the same tutor, so you get to know each other and your work gets better, week by week.
