Who teaches
People who do it for a living
Rob Feeny
Woodwork
Furniture maker for twenty-two years. Teaches the way he was taught, minus the shouting.
Ivy Sandoval
Letterpress and bookbinding
Runs a two-person press in the same building. Owns more type than sense.
Kwame Boakye
Ceramics
Production potter. Fires the kiln on Wednesdays, which is why glazing is on Tuesday.
This term
Four courses, and a waiting list for two of them
Everything is capped at eight people, because that is how many benches there are.
Woodwork: the first joint
Hand tools only. You leave with a stool you made and did not glue in a panic.
6 evenings
£320
Letterpress
Setting metal type, mixing ink and printing a run of fifty cards to take home.
2 days
£210
Wheel-thrown ceramics
Throwing, trimming and glazing. Everything you make gets fired.
8 evenings
£420
Bookbinding
Two sewn bindings in a day, in the good cloth rather than the practice stuff.
1 day
£140
The autumn term opens for booking on 1 September
Courses fill in about a fortnight. The mailing list gets a day's head start, which is the only perk it has.
