FIVEWeek Clay skills course for kids with Katherine Kingdon

Tuesdays 3 Nov to 8 Dec 2026
6:30 to 8pm each day – £110 for five weeks
(no class on 17 November)

Minimum age : 8 years

This course is designed as a follow on from CLAY SKILLS FOR KIDS.
A reasonable working knowledge of the following is essential: coiling, pinch pot construction, slab-building and sculpting plus an understanding of the different uses for slip, glaze and underglaze.

A course for young people who want to explore clay hand-building skills in more depth.

During the course you’ll work on pieces developed from both teacher lead projects and from your own research. You’ll also learn a bit more about the amazingly diverse world of ceramics.

Anyone wishing to explore an idea relating to a school project will find themselves in safe hands. Katherine is a skilled ceramicist with over 30 years’ experience teaching art and ceramics both in and outside the school system.
