Health and Safety in the Studio

  • We want you to have the best experience during your time in the studio and part of that is making sure all participants comply with our health and safety procedures. When you book a workshop or class you will have to tick a box agreeing that you have read and understood these terms and conditions.
  • Please be aware you are in a working studio and due care and attention must be given. Inductions will be given on the equipment you will be using. You must not use any other equipment in the studio. Jane Scott Ceramics will not be held responsible for any injury you may incur if you break the rules of the studio.
  • Potters are asked to bring any health and safety concerns to the attention of the teacher as soon as possible.
  • Heat guns for drying clay and glazes are only to be used under supervision.
  • Please be careful not to trip over Bertie the studio dog and tell me if you have an allergy to dogs and I will keep Bertie out.
  • Potters must inform me of any relevant health issues.
  • Working with clay can be very messy. We supply aprons but it is probably best if you come to the classes in clothes and footwear you don’t mind getting dirty. No watches or jewellery to be worn and you may want to tie your hair back in preparation. Jane Scott Ceramics will not be held responsible for any damage to clothing, shoes, jewellery, watches or mobile devices whilst in the studio.

 

Your Work

  • All work made in classes will be bisque fired and glazed. Please be aware that although every due care and attention is given to every piece we put in the kiln, once inside the kiln we cannot be held responsible for any work that cracks, explodes or is damaged due to another object exploding. This unfortunately, is out of our hands and is part of the many difficulties of working with clay.
  • We endeavour to have all finished work ready for collection within 3 weeks. After this date we hold all work for a minimum of 12 weeks. Any work not collected after this date will unfortunately be discarded due to minimal studio space. Collection of work is the responsibility of the maker.

Remember the best teacher you had at school? For whatever reason you remember them as outstanding, you probably remember every syllable they ever uttered to you, every minute they spent on or with you; you likely consider your life unequivocally better for the time you spent with them. Jane is that teacher for ceramics.I booked a morning of pottery for a friend's birthday. We all agreed it was an absolutely brilliant way to spend a Sunday morning. We arrived almost clueless and left having made something we were proud of, something we can't wait to see glazed and finished, something we can't wait to use and show people. It is a wondrous feeling to go from unable to having learned something.Jane's workshop is literally and figuratively warm. The majestic log burner belches out heat and Jane warmly welcomes you to the studio that is also her home. Effortlessly, Jane learns names, asks questions, remembers things about each attendee; everyone feels valued and accommodated.Within the time constraints we had, each plain slab of clay was transformed into a wildly different vessel. Each of us felt nurtured, encouraged and free to try whatever we liked. More than just turning a flap of clay into something you can quaff coffee from, you focus on nothing else.We all left feeling calmed, peaceful and happy. In focusing on, caring for and developing something so simple as a flat slab of clay into a usable vessel, you have no time or head-space for anything else. Phones? No. Work worries? No. The state of the world? No.If someone suggested you could go to Corsham for a couple of hours on a Sunday morning to make a cup and emerge feeling entirely better than you did, you'd doubt them at best and probably tell them where to go... You can!Jane is a person you feel lucky to have been taught by and wish all teachers were like. I'd go back and do the same again. I'd go back and do something else. I'd recommend it to anyone, even sceptics. Very little goes on your headstone and the really important things are those you remember. I'll remember making a cup with Jane very vividly. An added bonus is that I did it with friends and have something to show for it.I challenge you to find the time, spend the money, make the thing and regret it - you won't.

Had a 2 hour session with Jane, she's an amazing teacher, very hands on session and Jane's explanations of the processes gave me a good understanding of what we was trying to achieve. I enjoyed it so much I've signed up for a regular class. Thank you Jane you're brilliant. Throughly recommend to anyone who's interested.

I booked in for a couple of hours of tuition with Jane and I threw my first ever pot on the wheel. Jane is a fantastic teacher and I would highly recommend her. She’s very clear with her instructions and reassuring all the way through the process. I found working with the clay to be very therapeutic and quickly switched off all other thoughts. I am so pleased with my bowl and it will be used everyday. Thanks Jane

Jane is a brilliant teacher! She carefully broke down each step in the process of throwing a cylindrical pot and made it manageable, achievable and really enjoyable. I would thoroughly recommend her 1-1 tutorials.

Had a lovely 2 hour private tuition session with Jane and absolutely loved it! I'd never thrown on the wheel before and I managed to throw a pot! Really easy steps to follow, and Jane lets you do it all yourself, which I found was a great way to learn.

Spent a 1:1 2hr. pottery throwing session with Jane yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. She has a clear and relaxed teaching style that enables you to produce an impressive pot by the end of the session. The studio was light and bright with an effective wood burner to keep you warm. Looking forward to picking up my creation after firing.

We had a great morning with Jane yesterday. She gave very clear instructions and guided us through the process of throwing a pot. We both had a real sense of achievement at the end. Jane was friendly and encouraging. We would definitely recommend her. The studio was a warm, calm space and has parking right outside.

My mum and I have just spent the loveliest 2 hours hand building a beautiful pot, under Jane’s expert supervision. We did not imagine we’d be able to create anything like we did. We fully recommend the private tuition, and had such a great time, I’m thinking of signing up for the regular classes. Thank you Jane!

Absolutely brilliant day! Jane is a wealth of knowledge, the course teach a range of techniques using slips which I will definitely carry forward in what I make! If you are looking for a surface decoration course in ceramics, look no further!! Will definitely be back!

We both loved the lesson with Jane today - such a great thing to step out of normal life for a while and learn something new and creative. Jane is a great teacher - warm, patient and knowledgeable and made us both feel at ease. We were so pleased with pots we managed to create using the wheel. Thanks Jane

Had a fantastic zoom session with Jane, then when we dropped off our pottery to be fired we ended up buying a couple of pots/vases as they were just so beautiful!

Possibly one of my most favourite memories ever. What’s not to love about a hands on creative clay class followed by the most sumptuous and delicious vegetarian brunch... literally heaven 😍

Jane has a fabulous easy going coaching style of teaching. I have never handled clay in any form before but Jane enabled me to throw a couple of creditable pots on her wheel within a couple of hours... all my own work. A fantastic experience. Thanks Jane

I brought my son to do a jug work shop and we both had a wonderful time with this hands on creative workshop. Jane is lovely, very kind and attentive, guiding us through the creative process and even making tea along the way! The workshop was a cosy space filled with Jane’s amazing ceramics and we were both so proud of our beautiful unique creations when they were finished, we will treasure them forever!! Would definitely recommend this to anyone old or young, we will certainly be back for more!!
