A small quantity of olive oil in a pot, pliers if you have them (but don&#39;t worry if not). Somewhere to dry the clay pieces before firing: a hot radiator, a hot plate, a dehumidifier or a dehydrator. A device with a large enough screen to view the tutorials and the ability to play sound.</p>

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">The course is run over eight weekly sessions, 19:00 &ndash; 20:30, but also recorded and put onto the course web page so you can view them at other times</p>
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What will we cover?</h2>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">You will learn about how to identify and resolve risks in the studio, through the whole making process from dealing with clay and other raw materials, through making and firing work to final packaging. You will understand how to identify any potentially harmful materials in the studio, and how to deal with them. You will also get to understand good working practice in the studio, as well as appropriate clothing and the use of PPE. You will also be shown resources that you can use to help decide whether something is a significant risk or not.</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">The course doesn&rsquo;t deal with the specific legal responsibilities of having staff, or of running a teaching studio, though the health and safety aspects are covered.</p>
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What will I achieve?</h2>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">By the end of this course you should be able to&hellip;</p>

<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Assess any physiological risks from lifting, wedging, throwing and other activities, and how to deal with them</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understand the risks from various methods of firing, and how to manage them</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Be aware of the risks of machinery that may be used in the studio</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Know how to dispose of studio waste safely, being aware of any environmental risks</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Have a good overall understanding of good studio practice from a health and safety viewpoint</li>
</ul>
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?</h2>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Beginner to intermediate.</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">You should have some experience of making and firing pots in a pottery studio, whether yours or somebody else&rsquo;s.</p>
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?</h2>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">The course is primarily run through the weekly online sessions, which are a live lecture where you can also ask questions or get a discussion going.

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Additional material that you may wish to explore is on the course website. This will help you go deeper into the subject matter, should you wish to do so.</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">There will be suggestions for you to consider specific aspects of your studio between sessions.</p>

<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What do I get?</h2>
