Children's home pottery party

Course information

An ideal session for friends to enjoy together in the comfort of your own home! This 1.5 hour session will allow children to experience any number of hand building processes from coiling, pinch pots or slab building. They will learn how to use and manipulate the clay in a teacher led tutorial whilst refining their fine motor skills. Pricing starts at £120 for 6 students. For all home pottery parties please complete a CONTACT FORM and I will call you to discuss your party needs and size. If you have a particular project in mind then do let me know and I will do my best to accommodate this in the session. If you have hosted a pottery party previously then please let me know what project was completed so that it is not duplicated in your new booking. Additional children can occasionally be accommodated at additional cost. What’s included? 1.5 hours of practical making and learning time followed by time to clean up and follow best H&S practice. Each step of the hand building journey will be explained as the lesson progresses and questions are welcomed! All tools, equipment, materials, and firing, as described below, are included. You will be provided with aprons, but it is advisable that you wear clothing that you don’t mind getting dusty! These sessions are best accommodated in a hard flooring area for easy clean up. Each child can choose one piece to be fired and glazed. Additional pieces can be glazed and fired at a cost of £10 an item, payable before the end of the lesson. You will be emailed when work is ready for collection, this will be approximately 3-4 weeks after your party. The process of drying and firing will be explained to you in detail at the time of your course or class. With prior arrangement and payment of delivery fees work may be sent via courier or another mailing service. Where can it take you? With further lessons, students can go on to develop their hand building skills; developing more complex vessel shapes and also learn how to add surface decoration and colour. Minimum participant age is 8 years old. All parties must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.
