More information about this Course


01. Who is this course for?
This course is designed for those with an interest in pottery who would like to develop their skills further, but may feel apprehensive about joining a class or group due to anxiety issues or low confidence levels. The course will introduce you to different pottery techniques in a relaxed and supportive environment. Due to high demand and lengthy waiting lists, we are now limiting enrolment to one pottery course per term per student.

03. How will I learn?
This course combines tutor-led activities with independent learner projects. Learners will be supported through class demonstrations and 1:1 assistance to develop their skills and create their own pieces of pottery. Learners will receive regular verbal and written feedback on their progress. Please avoid taking holidays during the course. Missed lessons can affect funding for adult learning courses.

04. What will I need to bring?
It is advisable to wear an old shirt or apron: please do not wear your best clothes. The course fee includes a materials fee per person per course for resources (clay, glaze, firing etc.) You may wish to purchase some basic tools after a few weeks, but this is not essential. Online courses: suitable equipment, software, and a reliable internet connection.

06. How will I be assessed?

Informal discussions with the tutor will take place throughout the course, both individually and in groups. Your progress will also be documented through photographic evidence.

08. How will I be supported in my learning?
We aim to support all learners to succeed. Our tutors will work with all learners to meet individual needs by using a range of resources and teaching methods. When you enrol on your course you will be asked if you have any additional learning needs or disabilities which may affect your learning. This might include physical disabilities, neurodivergent needs (e.g., Autistic Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, or dyspraxia, etc.), visual and auditory impairments, or a medical condition which might affect your learning. Your tutor will contact you prior to joining the course to discuss what support can be put in place. For some learners, this may mean organising extra time in exams or arranging for a Learning Support Assistant to support your learning in class. We also offer a wide range of assistive technology such as reader pens, screen readers, large print keyboards and screens, alongside in-class resources such as coloured overlays, large-print resources and more.
