Week 1: 4th June: Candlelight Elegance
Begin your pottery adventure by creating a charming ‘wee willy winky style’ candlestick. Decorate your piece with vibrant coloured slips and learn the sgraffito technique to etch your unique designs into the clay, adding a personal touch.
Week 2: 11th June: Sculptural Vase Creations
Explore the art of slab vase making. You’ll shape your own vase through the slab building process and enhance it with striking relief decorations. It’s your chance to marry form and function, guided by your hands and creativity.
Week 3: 18th June: Coiled with Love Mug
Discover the joy of coil building as you craft a mug from the ground up. This session will show you how to roll, coil, and layer clay to create your mug’s body and attach a handle, making a piece that’s bound to be a cherished favourite.
Week 4: 25th June: The Finishing Touch
We’ll conclude our workshop series by bringing our creations to life with glazing. Choose from classic white or transparent glazes, with a variety of coloured glaze stains available for experimentation. This is your moment to play with colours and finishes, giving your pottery that final, unique touch.
For £150.00, enjoy all four sessions, refreshments to fuel your creativity, and the kiln firing of your pottery pieces. This course is more than just learning; it’s about the joy of making and the satisfaction of creating with your own hands.
