Ceramic arts workshops
At our Edinburgh based ceramics studio we cultivate creativity through specialist wheel throwing workshops. Here learners set out with a skills building approach, establishing a muscle memory for the motions and pressures needed to control the clay. From here the focus shifts to personal design choices and creativity. Routes are found through clay processes which culminates in the intense atmosphere of the kiln.
A dynamic material; clay presents us with rich opportunities for creativity from states of wet through to dry. Found inspirations and design ideas are arrived at in the studio in respect of form, surface, tonality and colour.
Recognising that every path through ceramic learning is different, our limited group sizes enable time to accommodate different learning and making styles, while offering appropriate and well-timed support. Throughout you will gain a broad technical knowledge aiding your progression within the craft.
Technical support is readily available for one-to-one attention and each learner has dedicated use of a wheel during our throwing workshops.
