Our Season Schools are held in the holiday periods between terms.
Season Schools are our way to offer unique and interesting combinations of artist-teachers and subjects in an intense focussed multi-day format. Suitable for people who have a good foundation in ceramics but wish to deepen their knowledge in particular areas not usually offered in our term format.
Jump on our mailing list to be informed of upcoming offerings before we open to the public.

Reviews of past offerings: “The Studio Practice Program at Slow Clay Centre is one of the best pottery related experiences I’ve had so far, it was a week packed with information with great teachers and guidance.”
“A great opportunity to pause and reflect on what motivates and inspires my practice”
“I loved my subjects. They tapped into a lovely creative headspace. As a creative professional, I did not think it was going over old ground as there is no limit to how much help we need generating creative ideas and getting unstuck.”
“I was most stimulated by the unlocking of new creative territories via my special object…”
“I was left itching to explore some of these ideas!”
