You will be learning in a working production pottery. All classes will be taught by Lindsey, a full time ceramicist who has been working in the industry for over 12 years. With class groups of no more than 6 we aim to provide focused tuition which facilitates a steady progression of skills in a supportive and professional environment.
-
All students will progress at their own pace with guidance from Lindsey. We will discuss your progress regularly and encourage you to move to the next level of classes when the time is right.

One bag of clay will be provided at your first class but any additional clay will need to be purchased throughout the term. Your clay can be purchased from us at RRP or you may bring your own to class after discussion with Lindsey.
Drinking water, tea and coffee will be available.

Please wear clothes that you do not mind getting dirty. Closed-toe shoes are a must and bring an apron if you desire. All good Tasmanians know to be prepared for variable weather, the workshop can be very chilly on cold days and we recommend layers.

Please bring materials for sketching and note taking. An old towel is very handy, along with a bag to carry your dirty apron and towel home.
