Close up making - wheel
Ceramic arts workshops
James has recently taught ceramics for more than three years in a multi-disciplinary creative education workshop in Hong Kong. Specialising in core ceramics skills of wheel throwing, coil building and slab building techniques.
James has a Masters in Ceramics from the National Glass Centre abd a BA in Fine Art from Norwich School of Art and Design.
Workshops will take a project-based approach where students determine their own creative path with guidance and tuition. Significant one-to-one attention will be provided with small group sizes.
Workshops take an all-round creative approach to making including drawing which he has taught extensively in the past.
We have a bright and airy studio within St Margarets House in Edinburgh.
