Ceramics for Beginners

Learn the fundamentals of ceramics in this comprehensive 7-week beginner's course and be guided on how to create a range of ceramic items such as mugs, bowls and flatware, using a variety of techniques including hand-building, wheel-throwing, decorating, firing, glazing and finishing.

Each lesson will begin with a demonstration by our experienced tutors, providing valuable insights and techniques. You'll then have the opportunity to practice and refine your skills at individual workstations, progressing through each stage of pottery production.

In the first few weeks of the course, each student will complete a hand-built project and wheel-thrown pot each class. In the final weeks of term, students will have the opportunity to work on their own projects, as well as glaze all their pieces.

Whether you're a complete beginner, or have some experience, this course offers a supportive and enriching environment to learn all about ceramics.

This course will be held at Albury TAFE campus, with students having access to the full suite of tools and equipment in the large purpose-built studio.

The course fee includes 21 hours of making time and all clay, firing, glazes and tools are provided.

Presented in partnership with Riverina TAFE.
