The Painting Academy
The Clay Studio runs Painting Academy
courses to help you improve your pottery painting skills. These courses
are instructive and fun. What's more you have a beautiful piece of
painted pottery to show for it. Our courses either run across several
weeks or last for one session only.
Each course has a limited number of
places available and so advance booking is necessary.
Pick & Mix Flexi Course
We are
offering a Painting Academy Pick & Mix Flexi Course. Painting Academy
sessions will be running Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7pm until
9pm and on Wednesday and Sunday mornings from 11am until 1pm. You can
attend any number of these sessions and mix times to fit in with your
lifestyle. These do not have to be consecutive weeks so you can fit the
course around your holiday or other time demands.
The Pick & Mix Flexi Course comprises
eighteen projects that highlight a range of different pottery painting
techniques.
The course costs £45 for six weeks to
include tuition, Studio Fee, use of paints, glazing & firing and other
resources. Choose a piece of bisque (unpainted pottery) from our
extensive range every week. There is 25% discount on the
Studio-recommended piece of pottery or equivalent or you can choose any
one of around 150 pieces. The prices of the pieces range from £4 to £40.
