A flexible skills‑focused course below university level, taken with a lighter timetable to fit around work or personal commitments.
This course is aimed at advanced level learners who have attended previous courses at Nottingham College.
Working in our well-resourced ceramics department, you will be working on directed and self-directed projects with the support and guidance of our experienced tutor to help build the knowledge and skills to work independently. You may want to develop specific hand-building skills, technical knowledge and creative ideas – design-led or sculptural.
The course is designed to help equip learners with the knowledge to move towards setting up their own studios, there will be a focus on technical knowledge and safe studio practice.
You will receive supportive tutoring, new knowledge and skills in ceramics, and opportunities to develop your creativity.
