This course is for people new to clay or anyone returning to clay work who would like a refresher. Students will be supported in designing and making their work using a variety of hand building techniques.
You will be guided through a range of hand-building techniques such as slab work, coiling, sculpting, exploring different surface patterns and textures. You will be shown how to use slips and glazes to create different decorative effects on your pots. For the more experienced potter you will be guided and supported to follow your own project if you wish, with a focus on building on your existing skills.
No experience necessary, this course is suitable for both complete beginners and those with more experience.
Please bring a notebook to each session. You’ll be encouraged to record your project ideas, sketches, clay bodies, techniques, glaze combinations, and firing notes—creating your own personal ceramics journal to refer to long after the course has finished.
**Please note that this course is run over 8 sessions rather than 10, but each session is 2 and a half hours.**
