BA (Hons) Ceramics & Glass

We are looking forward to seeing you in September!

To help you get started, we ask that you gather a few basic tools. For ceramics, it's helpful to arrive with a simple set of starter tools.

Starter Tool Set – Bath Potters

In addition, it's handy to bring:

  • A wooden rolling pin
  • Cloths such as old tea towels, calico, etc.
  • A few round buckets or tubs (various sizes) with lids

Thank you, and we can’t wait to get started with you!
