Working with clay by hand, using only simple tools. Explore everything from hand-built pots and coiling to pinchpot and slab techniques.

About the Associate Artist leading the session: Harriet is an independent ceramic designer and artist based in the Essex countryside. Her creative exploration has been deeply influenced by her fascination with line, repetition, tactility, and light. These elements have guided her ever since she started creating objects with her own hands.
