- Handbuilding the project
- Use of the studio space, facilities and extensive materials
- Explore different clay bodies and learn how they can be used to help you to achieve your design aims
- Use of extensive ranges of stoneware glazes
Assessment Method

RARPA stands for Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement which is the process of assessment for non-accredited learning. It is a means of validating the outcomes of programmes which do not result in qualifications. RARPA is a five-stage process which measures and records learners’ progress, achievements and attendance.
