8 week courses

Wheel throwing & Handbuilding

Classes start 5–7 October

Our courses are now 8 weeks long.

It is the biggest change we have made since Stoker Studio began, and it came from what students told us: the six weeks went too fast.

8 weeks means you run the complete ceramic process twice, with two glaze sessions instead of one, so you come back to the wheel with everything you learnt the first time and finish a second collection. Courses run alongside the school terms. Class sizes are strictly limited to around nine students, and you must be over 16 to attend.

Beginner & Intermediate Handbuilding

Create with your hands, no wheel required. We explore the three main methods of hand building — coiling, slab rolling and pinching — to make mugs, vases, plates and sculpture.
