Improvers Potters Adult Courses 2026

The Principles of Studio Pottery

A programme of creative, practical workshops and courses for beginners to advanced potters who wish to explore the skills, technique and ethos of studio pottery.

We look forward to releasing more specialist courses across the year.

Making Pottery should not be like climbing a mountain, it should be more like walking down the hill in a pleasant breeze.
