2026 Summer schools now live!
Hello mudslingers. The dates and details for our Summer School season 2026 are now available for everyone to browse on this website. They are for viewing only up until launch at 7pm on Sunday 14th December 2024, at which point they will be available for booking on a first come first served basis. Some of our Summer courses recurrently book out very quickly, so to avoid disappointment please consider booking promptly on Sunday evening.
We are delighted that Patia is back on the Summer school schedule after a year sabbatical. She’ll be teaching her ever popular 4½ day Earthenware Slip-decoration course which has enriched the making vocabulary of so many visiting students over the years.
It is very exciting for us to welcome newest member of Wobage Pottery to the 2026 teaching crew, Jem & Pet’s part-time assistant Isabelle Proffitt. Belle will be leading a new 2½ day workshop, ‘Impress & Stretch’ at the beginning of the season in May, sharing her love of stretched-slab-built porcelain. We can’t wait for this!
Jeremy teaches four different courses in June and July, all on different themes and course durations to suit varying budget. These are 3½ day ‘Thrown & Altered’, 3½ day ‘Clay Brainstorming’, 4½ day ‘Jars & Lids’ and finishing up with a 2-day ‘Up-right!’ to advance foundational wheel-throwing skills.
Like last year, booking is now fully automated, with places secured once payment in full is complete via Paypal or online bank transfer. Our Refunds and Cancellations policy remains the same as in previous years, with the same timescales. You can read those details via this link to Terms & Conditions. If you’ve any queries with regard to any of this, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
If you are 25 yrs or under, and a Full-time student in Higher Education, or you are within your first year after having graduated, we invite a 20% discount on any of this season’s Summer courses. To secure this voucher, please get in touch via e-mail. You will need to provide evidence of the course that you’ve attended and organise a tutor reference, providing us with a contact e-mail or mobile number.
In between Friday and Sunday, each of the six courses will read ‘Out of Stock’. This is just to give everyone a short, quiet window of opportunity to browse the course dates and details, they won’t actually have sold out before we’ve published them! We can’t wait to welcome new cohorts in to the Wobage throwing studio next Summer.
