CUP Ceramics Community

CUP Ceramics Community CUP Ceramics Community is an open-access ceramics studio situated Hereford. We provide a unique and creative community for potters and ceramicists.

CUP is Herefordshire’s first open access ceramics studio. This means that it is open to all, no matter your level of experience, 6 days a week, day times and evenings. We provide a calm and creative environment where you can share the satisfying and therapeutic experience of making in clay. We offer access to excellent, large capacity kiln space, multiple wheels, plenty of work bench space, slab r

oller and your own storage space at the studio. Mentoring and advice will always be available from an experienced ceramicist who will be on site at all times. We aim to create an artistic community for beginners, intermediate and advanced ceramicists that share ideas, skills and friendships in an inclusive, relaxed and ambient environment. Allowing time for experimentation, extensive development of skills and of course mistakes! Courses catering for various levels of expertise and specific skill development also run regularly. We’re a social enterprise so the profits that we make will be put back into benefitting the local community and to making sure that the arts flourish in our county.

Our next 10 week course term begins in January!
This course is ideal for you if you are looking for an extensive introduction to throwing and hand building or just to refresh rusty skills. The fee INCLUDES any pottery made on the course to be glazed and fired in our kilns!

Week 1 and 2: Basics of hand building and throwing on the wheel (Pinch, coiling, surface decoration, throwing a cylinder etc.)

Week 2-4: Development of these skills to produce more variety of forms e.g. Mug (handles), bowls, plates

There will be a fairly even split between wheel time and hand build up to this point.

Week 5-8: Allows more freedom to specialise in throwing or hand building and includes guided practice to really develop and apply the techniques that you have learned as much as the facilities can support this.

Week 9-10: Preparation and application of glazes onto your creations so you can walk away with the skills to create ceramics from clay to finished item or take your journey further by becoming a studio member!

Monday evenings 630-9pm

£395pp

We recommend that the minimum age is 14 when accompanied by an adult on the course and 16 without adult supervision.

Join us for a full length kiln unload with added studio chit chat

We unload onto tables so that everyone who is mooching round the studio gets a good look at what has been made by everyone else! With 60 studio members and 10 staff in the space, there’s just no way that everyone can keep up with each others projects!

Our new batch of Teen Throwers are off to a flying start.

This course gives young people who aren't quite old enough to take part in our regular courses the opportunity to have a go at throwing pots on the wheel.

These 4 week courses give an introduction to centering and throwing. The rate at which the participants learn and develop always amazes me.

Our next Teen Throwing Course starts in September and places are already being booked. If you know a young person who has always wanted to have a go book your place via our website www.cupceramics.com/courses
