The Art Society has a Pottery Workshop housed in one of the out buildings in the back garden of Springfield House, which is for use by Members of the Society only. This workshop has one large table and chairs, with space for about 4- 5 people maximum, to work around it. The workshop also has one electric wheel, and a small circular top loading electric kiln. The electric kiln is housed in an adjacent room where pots are also stored awaiting firing.
The workshop is in regular use during the week when groups of members get together for informal pottery making sessions. Clay is provided, but an extra cost is charged, for the amount used by each member. Each item is weighed and paid for by members. Basic tools and glazes and colouring stains, are also provided. These sessions are not taught sessions, but members do offer help, and support to each other. These sessions are therefore not really suitable for complete inexperienced beginners.
Members of the Society can join one of these groups for an additional fee of £2 per session, on a regular weekly basis. Email: marlenetanti.ceramics@gmail.com to check if any spaces are available .
Current Pottery workshop groups, for people with some previous experience are held on the following days:
Mondays 12.30 - 2.30 p.m.
Tuesdays 10 – 12 a.m. and 12.30 - 2.30 p.m.
