There are 7 spaces available per workshop with a one-off fee of £55 per person, per three-hour session. This fee covers all materials, firing and glazing (by Kayley). There will be an option to glaze your work at a session in September if you'd prefer to do this yourself for a small fee.
Saturday 11th September, 10am-1pm - Slab pots
Roll out beautiful slabs, add texture and learn how to stick them together to create vessels with curved or flat sides. If you like, you can also add some coloured slip decoration.
Saturday 18th September, 10am-1pm - Press-mould a plate and slip decorate
Roll perfectly even slabs of clay and press them into a plaster mould to create a shallow dish/plate. Explore the decorative possibilities of decorating slips (coloured liquid clays). Use newspaper, slip trailers, a range of brushes and wooden tools to create exciting surface decoration. (Just like in the cover pic).
Saturday 25th September, 10am-1pm - Pinch and Coil Pots
Create simple pots by forming lumps of clay with tiny pinches and learn how to grow the pieces with coils (sausages of clay). Use tools to add surface texture and pattern and add detailed slip decoration if you wish.
