Tradpots

At Tradpots pottery studio we offer handmade pottery and pottery classes from our centre in Poole. Learn pottery in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Children ?

We have small classes, so every student can have lots of individual tuition. As there is no set syllabus, with students starting classes to suit themselves, all may be at different stages, therefore everyone will progress at their own pace. You will try your hand at all aspects of clay work; - throwing on the wheel; colied pots, slab work, modelling etc, then going on to dry, fettle, paint, glaze
