The Landscape of Creativity: Painting, Drawing & Ceramics

​

​Art In Chester is a multi-disciplinary creative practice led by Chloe Augusta Operating across two unique locations in Cheshire, the studio offers a bridge between the fine arts and the tactile world of artisan pottery.​

​

The Pottery Workshop (Great Barrow)

 a dedicated ceramic space in Great Barrow, Chester, is home to popular pottery throwing workshops. This rustic hub is designed for hands-on learning, small group classes, and 1-on-1 wheel-throwing tuition.

​

 

The Journey: From Clay to Kiln

​

Every piece created at the Chester pottery studio follows a traditional, rhythmic process. When you join a workshop, you aren't just making a pot; you are engaging in an ancient craft:

​

Wedging & Centering

​

The physical start of the journey. We prepare the clay and find "true center" on the potter's wheel—a meditative process that is the foundation of all wheel-thrown ceramics.

​

The Throw

​

Under Chloe’s expert guidance, you will learn to pull the walls of your vessel, turning a ball of earth into a functional form like a bowl, mug, or vase..

​

The First Fire (Bisque)

​

Your work is loaded into the kiln for its first firing at approximately 1000°C, transforming the fragile clay into durable ceramic.

​

Glazing & Final Fire

​

the piece is dip-glazed and fired again to a higher temperature. This vitrifies the clay, making your handcrafted pottery food-safe and waterproof
