Oxfordshire Arts have, for at least the last year, had tutored all-day open studio classes on Fridays during term times. These are similar to our term-time classes, but are run roughly once a month and are bookable individually. Up to now they have been rather buried in our term-time schedule. In both July 2023 and 2024 we ran several weeks of Open Studio classes that were very popular, introducing many new faces to Muster Point. So we decided to gather all these classes into their own page, with the aim of providing “easier to book” pottery classes to those who might still be on the term-time waiting list!
Our current term-time potters as well as complete beginners (and any in-between) are welcome to come along to these Open Studio classes. Each student will be taught individually, dependent on what they want to achieve and their experience and aptitude. Classes will be restricted to a maximum of ten students.
In 2025 we are doubling the number of Open Studio classes offered by introducing a once-a-month class tutored by Steve Broughton of Pottery Throw-Down fame! Steve will bring to his classes a wealth of knowledge and experience, particularly in throwing. The other monthly Open Studio class will be tutored by either Alison Jones or Debbie Page.
