Sculpt and Carve with Clay
Come and learn the basics of handbuilding with clay or if you have experience you can focus on experimenting and creating textures in clay with patterned wood blocks and rollers.
We will work through the basics of pinch pot, coiling and slab building to create a pot or vase as well as other smaller pieces such as bowls, plates, developing into sculptural pieces, we will also cover different clays, slip, underglaze, scafitto techniques and much more over the monthly workshops.
Over the months we will look at different ways to add decoration - carving, adding details, printing with wood blocks etc as well as different glazing techniques.
This is an opportunity to explore different techniques over a number or weeks to complete many pieces so that you can confidently continue.
My aim is to offer multiple dates so that if you want to, you can book into more sessions so that you can continue your journey into ceramic handbuilding, glazing and complete more projects with confidence.
I can fire your work for you, which you can pick up or you can take it home unfired. You will need to book 2 sessions to glaze your work from the first session.
I will be offering some more day time classes soon, pleasw say if week day's or weekends are better please?
Clay can be purchased if you are wanting to work on larger pieces.
Extra costs may include more clay ,glazes and firing depending on the size and amount of pieces that you make.
