We’re excited to be running our first weekend workshop at Aberdeen Ceramics Studio with invited ceramicist Erica Taylor Low!

Erica will be running a workshop called “Basics and Beyond: a weekend ceramic slipware workshop”. She will introduce you to the ‘pillow technique’ she uses, cover the basics of throwing to enhance your slab pillow and pinched forms and go on to demonstrate slip trailing techniques.

Originally from Arbroath, Erica completed most of her formal training in Devon, England. She has since taken part in multiples residencies, notably in the US. Her work is both thrown and hand built, and decorated using the slip trailing technique.

Over the course of the weekend Erica will support you in creating your own hand built and/or thrown pillow form/s and in experimenting with slip trailing. This workshop is suitable for all levels, and you do not need to be able to throw on the wheel.

“Basics and Beyond: a weekend ceramic slipware workshop” with Erica Taylor Low will take place on:

Date: Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th October 2025
Time: 12-5pm

Price: £195, which includes all materials and the firing of work made during the workshop.

To sign up, please send us an email at hello@aberdeenceramicsstudio.com with the subject Weekend workshop with Erica Taylor Low.

If anyone has any questions, please let us know - either in person at the studio or by sending us an email.

We hope you can join us for what’s set to be a great weekend workshop!

Best,

ACS

Come join us this Tuesday evening for our Two Week Handbuilding Class!

Over the course of the two evenings, we’ll explore the world of hand building with clay - pinching, coiling and slab building objects such as (but not limited to) mugs, bowls, vessels, serving dishes and sculptural works. This class is perfect for beginners or for those returning to these skills.

We still have a couple of spaces left on our hand building class which starts tomorrow evening, and we’d love to see you there!

☀️ Kids Summer Classes ☀️

We’re running a day to play with clay this summer for kids aged 5-14 years old!

Monday 4 July 2025, 10am-12pm (5-10 years old and 11-14 years old)
Monday 4 July 2025, 2pm - 4pm (5-10 years old and 11-14 years old)

Ages 5-10 years old can join us to learn about pinching and sculpting clay, experiment with different clay tools and decorating using coloured slips. Kids will learn multiple hand-building techniques to make their own character plant pot. Ages 11-14 years old can join us to learn how to throw on the potters wheel. We’ll learn about the potters wheel, and go on to throw our own small plant pots.

On collection of their finished pieces, kids will also receive a little bag of compost and seeds for planting up their pots at home.
