What Carol and Roger do in their studio in Cwmhiraeth, a hamlet in the Teifi Valley of West Wales.


 

This is Cwmhiraeth where Carol Young and Roger Guy-Young make pots and give pottery classes.

While we have usually worked independently of each other, recently we find ourselves frequently working in collaboration on single pieces.

Both of us make practical domestic pots and sculptural ceramics and each of us used a variety of clays from Porcelain to very gritty Crank.

 We employ a wide range of techniques from throwing* (*the use of a potter’s wheel) through most hand building methods of construction and occasionally slip casting.

  

On Tuesday evenings we hold regular evening classes, which are booked in advance in blocks of five.
 (see "coming events" for details) 


We also provide one and two day intensive courses on a wide range of ceramic techniques and can tailor courses for particular groups.

While we are both well informed professionals with a passion for pottery, our teaching style is informal and often humorous.

Because we enjoy introducing people to the creative possibilities of clay work, we are very happy to work with complete beginners.
