Half-day hand-building pottery workshop in Brighton
Description
This half-day taster session will give you a real feel for pottery. Whether it's just for fun, or if you want to give it a go before committing to a longer course, we will help you make a lovely pot. During this workshop you can choose to make a mug, candle-holder, bowl, vase, salt-pig, oil-burner, hanging planter or lidded jar. You can choose one of our lovely dipping glazes, or you can decorate the piece yourself using underglaze paints and other decoration techniques. Our sessions are small with no more than 8 people, and plenty of tea and coffee! No previous knowledge is necessary, but people who have done pottery before are also very welcome. Come and experience the relaxed and creative joy of pottery, and hopefully you will get the ceramics bug and want to come back for more! If you aren't local, we can arrange to post your pots to you once they have been fired. * Please note this is a scheduled group session, but if you would like to book this as a private workshop for 2 - 8 people, on a date of your choosing, please do get in touch.

Hot Fox Pottery is run by Alice and Tom Fox from our home studio in Brighton. We are small and friendly, with a warm and homely studio in our converted loft space. Our size means we'll know your name, and we'll really care about your pots! (And you might meet our sweet cats Alan & Dodo too!) A relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and our extensive knowledge of pottery is what sets us apart. No strip lights, no cold, impersonal industrial units - you're just in our house, being taught by the people who run the business. (Plus there is the added bonus of free parking!) In our cosy studio, you can take some time away from screens and outside pressures to focus on something mindful, fulfilling and creative. We know you'll leave feeling relaxed and happy. All our classes are run in small groups, so our students get lots of individual attention, whether you’re a beginner or a more experienced potter. We really care about sharing our knowledge and helping you to develop your skills to make ceramic pieces that you’re proud of.
