Ceramic arts workshops
In our Edinburgh based ceramics workshop we match the content of courses to your own learning aims. Small group sizes provide space to adapt to different styles of making and give appropriate support at the right time. Alongside this you will gain a broad technical knowledge relevant to your first hand experience in the ceramic craft.
Learners will often adopt a skills building approach initially. Focussing on specific making techniques such as wheel throwing or hand building. New skills advance quickly meaning that specific design ideas can be accomplished.
A project based approach often arises, as incremental decisions build around the creative possibilities the material. Meaning that new ideas can be generated with a natural pace, alongside particular inspirations, in respect of form, surface texture, tone and hue.
Technical support is readily available where needed due to our limited group sizes of up to three persons. While each person enjoys sole use of their potters wheel for the duration of each ceramics workshop. The ceramics studio is a bright workspace housed within a building of art studios close to the centre of the city of Edinburgh.
