Learn to Make a Sculptural Ceramic Pot

Learn to make a pot, vase, jug or cup form and then use that technique to build out a sculptural form. Come and explore slab building and hand moulding in clay. I have patterns for making pots, or you can design your own. We will learn slabbing, joining, and clay forming techniques. We will use decorating oxides, tools for textures and discover some of the exciting chemistry in buckets of glaze.

You will make a piece or set of pieces using any tools and materials you like in my ceramics and glaze kit.

I will take your piece away at the end of the session to bisque fire followed by a transparent glaze firing over your design. You can pick your work up from my studio or I can send it out to you for a post and packaging fee.
