Cyan Clayworks is a social enterprise and open access ceramic studio based in Leith, run by artists Fiona Thompson and Chris Donnelly. We run regular courses throughout the year for adult learners. These include short taster classes, daytime and evening courses running over several weeks, and one day workshops. The taster classesare ideal for complete beginners who would like to try one or two techniques; usually wheelthrowing and tiles/markmaking/slip decoration – absolutely no prior experience needed! We often run specialist one day workshops on Saturdays. These may focus on wheelthrowing and handbuilding, or monoprinting/experiments with the surface for example, allowing students to build their confidence in a particular area.

The longer courses are usually suitable for beginners and/or those with some prior experience. We run occasional courses for more intermediate level students, who would like to hone their skills and focus on individual projects.

Our approach to teaching is fairly hands-on and supportive, but without being too prescriptive – you can choose what you make.

As well as group courses we have individual tuition for those who want some specialist or tailored input.
