Do I need to be an experienced potter to join a pottery group?
The pottery groups are informal groups where some experience would be helpful as there is no pottery tutor at present.

Do I need to have my own equipment/materials?
Yes - if you want to come to any of the weekly art workshop sessions although we can loan you with basic paints in a palette to get you started. We are always happy to advise on suitable equipment for beginners.
No - if you want to come to a pottery group. All clay and glazes are provided (for a reasonable fee). It would be helpful if you have your own sculpting tools but we do have these for anyone to use.

Do you teach/give lessons in art?
No we do not. Beginners are welcome to come to the art workshops on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings and learn as you go. Some members have started with little or no experience and are doing well. We are always willing to give advice on equipment and techniques but we do not formally teach. There are plenty of lessons on painting on YouTube and on the website called Skillshare, and we recommend using these teaching platforms to learn how to paint.
