Our Ceramics
‘Creations in three dimensions’
Steve has lifetime experience of teaching Primary children and adults. Steve has specialised in ceramic and artistic projects in Swindon Schools.
Claire has worked as a Special Educational Needs, Teaching Assistant in Swindon Schools since 2010 and has been involved in many art and craft projects.
We are set up to produce our own ceramic creations and continue to offer teaching skills to those who would like to create their own artistic artefacts.
Pagoda Pottery
Here is a selection of our work
Raku
The newest addition to our studio is a professionally built, stainless steel, top- hat gas kiln. The kiln is operated by a counter weight and housed in a purpose built, timber and tile pagoda, for operation and protection from the elements.
Studio pottery
In our studio we have 2 wheels for throwing and a large upright electric kiln. This allows the production of a variety of wares using earthenware, stoneware and porcelain clays.
Teaching
We can offer one to one teaching or small groups, covering all types of ceramics including throwing pots, slab ware, sculptural and other skills needed to produce a high standard of work.
Pottery Courses
We provide short starter courses for people who are interested in learning the necessary skills and techniques in order to develop their artistic skills in this medium. This involves making clay objects and biscuit firing. This can be followed with glazing techniques and a glaze firing.
School Courses: We provide ‘Pottery Experience’ short courses for school. We have the necessary experience and required legal documentation to operate these activities.
Further development
For those who are keen to develop their skills I provide longer courses. These include:
Throwing (with the opportunity to carry the process through to a finished glazed product)
Slab pot making
Raku
Clay sculpture and model making.
Open Studios
We can intend to have open studio days, where students can display their work to the public.
It will also give people the opportunity to view an exhibition of my work and artisans working and demonstrating pottery making.
