Hand-Building Pottery Courses in Lee
At the core of our South East London pottery studio offering is our flagship 6-week Hand-Building Pottery Course, a transformative journey into the world of ceramics. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned potter, this course has something to offer you. It's a dynamic experience where our valued students explore their creativity through three fundamental techniques: slab building, coiling, and pinching.
One of the unique features that defines The Find Store is our commitment to encouraging a thriving pottery community. Our modern studio welcomes both newcomers and alumni, ensuring that there's a constant blend of fresh perspectives and seasoned wisdom. The Alumni Course, spanning 6 weeks, is an opportunity for past students to revisit and expand upon their skills. With access to the studio's array of equipment, clay, glazes, and tools, including a kiln, the possibilities are limitless.
Our Pottery Teacher
Under the guidance of our talented French potter, Lucile, students are exposed to an array of inspirations drawn from nature's shapes, colours, and textures. Lucile's years of experience working with clay shine through in her passionate teaching style, creating an environment where creativity flourishes. Whether you're shaping your first piece or refining your craft, our expert teaching and support are a constant presence throughout your journey at our pottery studio in South East London.
Develop Your Skills as a Potter
Our structured weekly sessions of the Hand-Building Pottery Course ensure that our students get a well-rounded experience. Each week is dedicated to mastering a different technique, emphasising practice, and experimentation.
