Participants will have full access to the Hub’s well-equipped workshop throughout the sessions. The workspace includes a sink and drying racks, as well as a wide range of tools and basic equipment necessary. All potters working in the sessions are required to use the Hub’s supplied clay and glazes to ensure consistency and quality. The cost for materials includes a £5 fee for a 3kg bag of stoneware clay. Kiln firing fees are charged separately and calculated on an individual basis, depending on the size and number of pieces being fired. This setup allows participants to focus on their creativity with reliable resources while keeping material and firing costs transparent and manageable.

What will I take away with me?

You will take away your finished pieces from your own project once they have been fired. 

Do I need to bring anything with me?

If you have an Apron please bring it with you.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Our self-led Open Pottery Hub is open to beginners who have attended a Hand Building Pottery workshop with Karen Chesney, as well as intermediate and experienced potters. We run one induction session each season, email bookings@hub-sleaford.org.uk if you would like to be notified when the next one is.
