What will I be learning?

A fun online learning experience to meet other potters, learn about a range of artists and find out what is going on currently in the creative word of ceramics.

Explore basic hand building techniques, surface decoration, glazing etc.

As your confidence in your skills develop youwill be able to apply them to your own creative ideas. 

How will I know how I am progressing during the course?

Feedback will be given, both verbally and by the evaluation of completed tasks & projects.  You will receive verbal feedback on the results of your practical exercises.

There is no formal exam, although there is continual evaluation throughout the course.

Towards the end of each session you will use a DerbyLearn forum to record what you have done in class and comment on how you think you got on.  Before the next session your tutor will reply with their feedback.  This is a very good method of recording your own progress, reflecting on the session and a great way to receive motivation from your tutor.
