It’s lots of laughing and making new friends, but also learning to create something that students can take home and that will last forever.
Will has been teaching pottery/ceramics at Banbury for the last five years and has thoroughly enjoyed my time, passing on his knowledge to adult learners, and full-time students studying Level 1, 2, and 3 Creative Industries, Art and Design courses.
He was employed at Whichford Pottery in the early 1990s before he decided to study Ceramics at degree level at Swansea Metropolitan University. After Graduating in 1998 he worked at Hook Norton Pottery as a Production Thrower, making pots for the catering industry. He had another stint back at Whichford Pottery to help out with the Tower of London poppy project, and build the first Anagama Kiln at Wytham Woods in Oxford.
Will says: “It’s a relaxed atmosphere, lots of laughing and making new friends, but most importantly learning to create something that students can take home and that will last forever. Students will learn various techniques from hand building to making pots on the potter’s wheel.“
