A Well-City Salisbury free creative course for wellbeing from Salisbury Museum.
Inspired by the Past: Pot Making with Salisbury Musuem
In this course you will learn ancient pot making techniques including how to make coil pots, pinch pots and slab pots – and explore mark-making, decorative and glazing techniques. Be inspired by the new Ceramics Gallery and Wessex Gallery of archaeology at the museum – learn about pottery production from pre-history to the medieval period and have the rare opportunity to handle and study ceramic artefacts from the stores. The course will also tie into the museum’s major exhibition of the sculptor Elisabeth Frink.
Led by local ceramicist Jane Staniland, this is a friendly and supportive course that will suit all abilities. Participants will get to take home their fired pots at the end of the course (the course does not involve wheel throwing). All materials and refreshments will be provided.
Access Information: This course will suit all abilities. The studio where the course will take place is fully accessible. The new Ceramics Gallery at Salisbury Museum is located on the first floor of the museum and is not accessible for wheelchair users – but alternative access will be provided if needed.
The project primarily uses a model where participants are referred onto a course by their GP practice, support organisation, community group or school wellbeing team. However, we also welcome self-referrals. Visit our website for further information and referral forms.
This course is available for adults aged 20+
