This class is temporarily suspended but I am hoping to start them again after Easter. Please contact me for further information.
This is a class I have set up myself which takes place at the Tithe Barn in Bishop's Cleeve on the outskirts of Cheltenham.
Time: Thursdays 5.00-6.00pm during school term-time only.
Classes are small (10 children on average) and relaxed, with children between the ages of 5 and 13..
The children are free to make whatever they like at their own pace. It is not a taught course offering a tight schedule. My aim is to allow the children to explore their own ideas and instinctive relationship with the clay.
They paint their pieces in coloured slips and I glaze and fire all the work in my kiln at home. Each week there is great excitement as the children discover what their fired pieces look like.
... there is an excellent atmosphere, really gentle and creative with the children all producing wonderfully imaginative things - as diverse as themselves (mother of a participant)
