7 Educators providing Pottery courses in Birmingham

woodsetton art pottery

Rooted by materials, training and history to The Black Country village of the same name for over thirty years, using clay and metal to make truly unique pieces of use. At Woodsetton two generations and an upcoming third, have made their livings as designer makers for over 50 years. David Bates, a furniture designer and manufacture, and Gill Bates an antique dealer, later came together to work with pewter. The Victorian house and workshops which housed their early business was built by the Parkes family of Iron founders who were descendants of Abraham Derby 1st, and so there has been a long line of metal working at this address. For the latter 30 years Lorraine Bates has run a pottery here using stoneware and metal to make pieces of use. The combination of these two materials has an illustrious history in the Black Country in the shape of The Ruskin Pottery who made stoneware in The Arts and Crafts tradition and ethos which is still a strong influence on our work. Lorraine Bates and the team at Woodsetton, now have a history of making for galleries, museums and exhibitions in the UK, America, Japan and Europe.

sundragon community pottery

Sundragon Pottery is a “not for profit” Community Association, run as a members club. It began life in late 2013, when Becky Belcher, Fiona Scanlan, and other refugees from the seven potteries that closed down in Birmingham (due to funding cuts), set up the studio to have somewhere to “play with clay”. It has flourished because of the hard work, determination, and benevolence of our members. We offer a variety of membership options and courses for experienced and aspiring potters of all ages and abilities, as well as one-on-one tutoring and pottery parties.

saz's ceramics & crafts

Paint your own pottery or create your own craft; it's creative fun for everyone, no matter how old or young you are! So, how does it work? It's easy peasy! Normally, you can pop down to the studio to select your craft, e.g. pottery painting, silk clay, throwing and handbuilding with clay (it's advisable to phone ahead if you want to come down at the weekend as we're often running special workshops). Obviously, not so easy peasy in Lockdown, but we've got loads of take away options to keep you out of trouble whilst at home. If you don't mind waiting for your masterpiece, choose one of the many, many pieces on display on our Take away pages, grab an apron and a paint brush, let your imagination run riot with the wide range of glazes, leave your creation with us for a few days, then collect your glazed work of art and enjoy! We're sure it'll be worth the wait!
