Three, four and five day courses are available, which course is right for me?

Dependant on your previous experience Brendan would usually recommend initially attending a 3-day course. Longer courses are generally more suited to those with more experience.

The longer the course is the more time to there is to learn, the more ambitious you can be and more time you’ll have to focus on quality control and to enjoy your exploration of what the clay can offer.

To get the most from a course make time to research your chosen subject before you arrive. This will be explained in your course schedule, downloadable as soon as your booking is confirmed.
