Pottery

The Pottery offers small groups of students the opportunity to explore their creativity and practical skills through the use of clay.

Students learn about the full range of handbuilding techniques as well as practising on the pottery wheel. They are encouraged to think creatively about the design of their work and produce sculptoral pieces as well as functional items. Sessions are tailored to the particular interests and skills of each person and visits are made to local pottery studios and elsewhere for inspiration.

Some of the students' work can be seen at Furzey Cottage and Gallery, including a large tile wall hanging, jointly made by over 70 students and staff to mark the opening of the extended exhibition area.
