6 Week Monday Afternoon Pottery with Neil Hotchin – November
£180.00
We are delighted that Neil Hotchin has agreed to take on teaching at Sundragon Community Pottery.
Neil’s work is inspired by a love of primarily wood fired ceramics, which has led him into a deep dive of thowing pots and firing them at various locations across the UK, in many shared and long firing wood fired kilns.
This six week course starts on Monday 2nd November 2026, in our beautiful basement Studio 2 classroom, in Moseley School of Art, at Moseley Community Hub, 498, Moseley Road, on the corner of Lime Grove and Moseley Road. B12 9AH.
