From: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

This six-week course offers an in-depth exploration of ceramic hand-building techniques, from pinching and coiling to slab construction and surface design. Open to all levels, the course is especially well suited for students looking to develop or deepen their ceramic practice through a structured, hands-on studio experience.

Led by Blair Masters, students will learn to create both functional and sculptural forms while developing confidence in a variety of traditional and contemporary hand-building methods.

  • Weeks 1-3: Participants will explore foundational techniques including slab building, coiling, and surface decoration, while being encouraged to experiment with their own ideas and creative direction. Demonstrations will include approaches to texture, form, and composition, as well as decorative processes using slips, stains, underglazes, and carving techniques.
  • Week 4: Reserved to fire the student works to bisqueware. The class will not meet this week.
  • Week 5: Students return to glaze their work, exploring glazing techniques and colour application to complete their finished surfaces.
  • Week 6: Concludes with the glaze firing. The class will not meet this week.

By the end of the course, each participant will have completed at least one ceramic piece from concept to finished form, while gaining practical experience across the full ceramic process. More than a technical course, the workshop offers space for experimentation, creative growth, and the confidence to continue working with clay beyond the studio.

The Bermuda you'll remember isn't the one you simply saw—it's the one you truly understood.
Discover the Bermuda that most visitors never see on this private Bermuda walking tour through the island's historic East End. Designed for cruise visitors and island guests alike, this immersive experience reveals the UNESCO World Heritage Town of St. George's through the eyes of knowledgeable local storytellers.
Walk centuries-old cobblestone streets where English America first took root, stand inside historic churches that have welcomed worshippers for over 400 years, and uncover the remarkable stories of shipwrecks, settlers, privateers and survival that transformed a tiny Atlantic island into one of the most important crossroads of the British Empire.
Your private guide isn't simply reciting history. Robin Trimingham and Bill Storie are authors, journalists, researchers and Bermuda Tourism Authority Certified guides who have spent decades bringing Bermuda's extraordinary stories to life. Every tour is conversational, flexible and adapted to your interests, walking pace and curiosity.
Because every tour is private, you'll never feel rushed. Instead, you'll enjoy the freedom to linger a little longer, take photographs, ask questions, and spend more time exploring the places that capture your imagination.
As you wander through the historic streets and hidden alleyways of St. George's, you'll uncover fascinating stories of explorers, shipwrecks, settlers and everyday island life while enjoying genuine conversations with your local guide. Along the way, you'll gain insight into corners of Bermuda that many visitors never experience.
Whether this is your first visit to Bermuda or you've returned to explore the island more deeply, you'll leave with far more than photographs. You'll gain a richer understanding of Bermuda's history, culture and character—and memories of the people, places and stories that make this island unlike anywhere else in the world.
