Ceramics – Your road to wellbeing

Ceramics – Your road to wellbeing

On this course you will learn several hand-building, and clay-modelling techniques, and ceramic decorative processes. You will make functional ware and sculptural pieces for example: pots, spoons, tiles and other objects, and ornaments; and learn how to mix and use glazes.

You will develop your ideas considering design, form and function before making your piece with clay. A variety of ceramic decorative processes will be explored on the course, as well as linking historical context, archaeology, and reflection on geology to create imaginative functional and sculptural pieces.

The tutor will give you guidance to achieve your goals and you can adapt them to make your own creations.
Your road to wellbeing courses are relaxed and informal, enabling you to improve your wellbeing and mental health, building your self-confidence, and a great way to make friends.


Our courses are for anyone aged 19+, who suffers from, or who is recovering from mental ill-health.

Our courses run one day per week, over 10 to 13 weeks per term.
If you miss the start of the course -don’t worry, you can join the courses at any time.
