Pottery Classes near Malaga, Andalucia, Spain.
Pottery Courses in Rural Andalucia, Spain.
Pottery CoursesAndalucia and pottery have been going hand-in-hand for centuries. Pottery is an integral part of Andalucian life and the images that Andalucia conjures up.
In partnership with Alora Pottery and Clay School, we offer Pottery Classes for beginners as well as the more experienced. Alora Pottery and Clay School is only 3km drive from us set in the beautiful unspoilt valley next to us. Tuition is largely individual and covers all the traditional working methods such as coiling, slabbing, pinching, moulding, casting and throwing. Even if you have never worked with clay before, you’ll soon be making attractive pots or sculptures. You will also have the chance to use the incredibly versatile medium of ‘paper clay’.
If you are experienced in clay pottery but would like to concentrate on any particular aspect of the potter’s craft, such as throwing, we will make sure you have the time, equipment and materials to pursue your particular interest.
The new flexible full day classes, with unlimited studio time which includes lunch or you can book one of our packages giving you an intensive pottery course. Your work is saved in a damp box each week so if you wish you can even undertake large or complex works. You’ll be pleasantly surprised just how much you can achieve after a few lessons. At the end of your day or course you can have your work finished fired and glazed to take home for a small additional charge.
Tutored classes are from 10am to 2pm, but the work areas are open all day so that you can continue to work on your projects after lunch. Help and advice is usually available throughout the afternoon. Alternatively you may feel like having a well earned siesta or take a drive to visit one of the many local sites of interest.
Lunch is a full three course buffet of hot and cold dishes. Menus are based around a healthy ‘Mediterranean’ diet and we use locally sourced fresh ingredients as much as possible. Wines and other drinks are all included. Although we take our craft seriously we never forget that you are on holiday. We make sure you’ll find it easy to fit in, have fun and make new friends. |

We have even negotiated Special Prices for our guests including:
Spend a morning in the studio with as much or as little professional guidance as you want. After your work has dried for twenty four hours it will be biscuit fired in the kiln. You can then return and decorate / glaze your work ready for the final firing. (If preferred the pottery will do this for you). The whole process will normally be completed in a week.
Other packages are available so contact us with your requirements and we will be happy to provide you with pricing. If you have ever toyed with the idea of pottery-making, our fun and friendly classes are for you! |
