There are only six places per course meaning we can tailor the course to suit you, your level of skill and your creativity! It doesn't matter how much potting experience you have - total beginner or happy hobby potter Dave has plenty of time to tutor each individual, and so the making schedule can be flexible. As Dave is a thrower a large part of the course will be spent on the wheel learning the different techniques, with some hand building as well.

Tuition begins at 9 (after a hearty breakfast for residential potters) and we stop at about 11 for a coffee break (cake or biscuits provided!). We then work until 1 pm when we stop for a delicious seasonal homemade lunch . Back to the studio at 2 to 4, when formal tuition ends, although you can work on if you wish. We do not provide dinner on a nightly basis but there are plenty of great places to eat out in the village, from fish and chips to thai and indian restaurants to mention but a few!

All courses end with a RAKU firing day, when you can fire pots made earlier in the week. You can take your raku fired pots home with you, whilst the rest of your work can be fired and glazed by Dave and sent to you if you wish. There is an extra cost for this.

£345 per person including B&B in the Hayloft, tuition, tea and cake, lunches & materials. All raku fired pots are included in the cost. For any other pots to be fired (twice) and glazed after you leave is £3 per pot. For B&B in the Garden Room the total cost is £360 per person.

We only have two B&B rooms here, so we also use other B&B accommodation in the village once our rooms are full. Our accommodation is taken up on a first come first serve basis. Should there be any SINGLE potters we book single rooms in the village to avoid single supplements.
