We believe time in the studio and sharing experience is at the core of learning ceramics. For those who want to experiment or exchange ideas in a supportive and sharing environment, you will have the time to develop your skills and practice. You will be working independently and need to have several years of experience including glazing and surface decoration.

clay with carole

Carole Sender. Proud to have been a Contestant in BBC 2′s  Great Pottery Throwdown 2017 Carole’s interest in ceramics began more than 30 years ago. The manager of a retail shop in London, selling studio ceramics and handmade crafts, she would tour the country, visiting remote, rural studios and ordering ceramics for the store. Carole went on to study interior design and worked for a number of years in an architectural practice as a designer. FINE ART MEETS CERAMICS However, her passion for pottery and ceramics was reignited in the 1980s, when she gained a City and Guilds Ceramics qualification at Kingsway College, London and followed this with A Foundation Art Diploma and Degree level study at the University of Hertfordshire in Fine Art. SHARING OF IDEAS Clay with Carole was borne out of Carole’s love to teach and pass on her knowledge to others. She feels strongly that studying ceramic art is an ongoing, rich, and fascinating process and that the learning process is one of mutual communication and the sharing of ideas.

katherine fortnum ceramics

I found my love for ceramics while studying the Art Foundation course at De Montfort University (Leicester, England); we had inductions into some of the craft workshops, ceramics included. I really enjoyed working with clay, the making was so much fun, so many different options to explore and experiment with. The most exciting moment for me was collecting my piece from the kiln, not knowing what it was going to turn out like; the magical moment when you see the finished piece in all its glory, that’s what sold it to me in an instant. ...although I have always been addicted to everything art & crafts since I was a little girl, from the day I could hold a pencil I have been drawing and creating ever since; it’s always been my passion!
