The Art Society has a Pottery housed in the old Gardeners Store in the lovely back garden of Springfield House. This workshop has one large table and chairs, with space for 6 people to work around it. We also have one electric wheel, and a new top loading electric kiln which is dedicated to firing pottery. There is a new kiln which is used for firing Glass. The electric kilns are housed in our kiln room where pots are also stored, awaiting firing.
The Pottery is in regular use during the week when groups of members get together for informal pottery sessions. Clay, glazes and tools are provided and members pay a materials charge which is based on the weight of the finished item. We do not teach pottery skills at these sessions, but members do offer help and support to each other. These sessions are therefore not really suitable for completely inexperienced beginners.
Please see our Home Page for details of our Pottery Workshops which are intended to introduce pottery skills to both Members and non-Members.

You can attend up to 4 trial groups, paying only £2 each time before deciding if you want to join the Society and continue with your pottery hobby. Places in the groups are reserved by regular attendees, so you may need to be placed on a waiting list, and advised when a space becomes available.
If you would like to become a full member of the Society the cost is £30 per year, April to March. In addition, potters pay a £2 session fee when they attend and there is a £10 monthly kiln fee which goes towards kiln maintenance.
