Description

Sunday 30th November 9.45 am – 12.00 pm. Price includes the biscuit firing of all pieces and subsequent glazing in colours of your choice and final glaze firing – work can then be collected from our Blended Monkey studios or posted out by arrangement. Suitable for beginners & 16+. Enjoy a 2-hour workshop creating your own large botanical/own design vase using the slab and sprig method – you can bring along your own botanicals (grasses, flowers etc), from your gardens or surroundings if you wish, but we will have enough for everyone in any case. This method of making with clay uses rolled slabs, which are cut to size, botanicals pressed in, and then vases created using a former. The pieces can be simple or elaborate. I will show you how to attach “sprigs” to the finished vases to create extra 3D effects if required. Once dry, I will bisque fire the vases, glaze in your chosen colours and then glaze fire. You'll be notified when the vases are ready for collection or postage. The workshop is taking place in our Blended Monkey studios in Upwell on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border. This would make a fabulous CRAFTY GIFT for someone 🎁
