About this event
Across 2024 – 2025 the Leach Pottery is undertaking capital building works to improve the site for future potters. Find out more by copying and pasting this address into your web browser: https://www.leachpottery.com/leach-pottery-proposed-development
During the building project, aspects of the Adult Learning programme will take place at the Newlyn School of Art. Courses will continue to offer supportive teaching sensitive to the Leach ethos in the beautiful equipped studio at Newlyn School of Art.
Once more is known about the building requirements, we hope to release additional course dates taking place at the Leach Pottery alongside our programme at Newlyn School of Art.
Sometimes it is difficult to reconcile the practical and aesthetic needs of a jug, and the art of jug-making consists in finding a harmonious equilibrium. A Potter’s Book. Bernard Leach. 1940.
This course is for potters who already command the principles of throwing but wish to master the form of jugs from spout to rim, handle to foot.
During the course participants will consider different forms of jugs. Within the making of a jug, you will practice many transferrable skills to other forms. You will start by throwing cylinders then practice making spouts and pulling handles.
Accessibility
Details
Newlyn School of Art has disabled toilets and is accessible by wheelchair users. However, the building is old, and the entrance is via a set of granite steps with a steep gradient to a doorway too narrow for many wheelchairs. Entrance is possible via the back door, but this is also extremely narrow. It is best to call us with the dimensions of your wheelchair to ensure we can accommodate it.
