Individual and Group Bespoke Sessions
Our bespoke sessions are ideal for those who would like to have a private tutorial or book with a group of friends. You will have the opportunity to work with the tutor in a session designed specifically for you and your learning needs. In these sessions we can offer to support the development in your clay making methods such as throwing on the potter’s wheel or clay hand building.

Edward Scott is a Salisbury-based young artist. Inspired by the ineffable aspects of being and a fascination with materiality, Edward explores his subject matter through a range of mediums and processes such as oil painting, printmaking, and collage. After graduating from Falmouth University with a first-class degree in Fine Art, Edward worked at Salisbury Arts Centre where he trained under Mirka Golden-Hann and developed a keen interest in ceramic practice. Edward is excited to share his knowledge and experience as a painter-printmaker whilst continuing to explore and develop a painterly approach to ceramic practice.
Laura Rich is a Wiltshire-based artist and experienced tutor. Close observation of the subject informs her drawing process, whether it is the structure and flow of the human figure, the complexity of a bird’s nest, or the texture and light of a landscape.
Laura trained in Illustration with Graphic Design at Bath Spa University, graduating in 2001. After an early career in architectural illustration, she took up painting, working on large commercial commissions for international clients including The Maybourne Group, P&O and Cunard.
