Make a sculptural ceramic vessel

Description

Make a sculptural vessel. Learn to make a pot, vase, jug or cup form and then use that technique to build out a sculptural form. Come and explore with slab building and hand moulding in clay. I have patterns for making pots, or you can design your own. We will learn joining, moulding, sculpting and clay forming techniques. We will use decorating oxides and tools for textures and discover some of the exciting chemistry in buckets of glaze. All levels welcome. I have 20+ years of experience working with clay and glaze. I have taught art and pottery in schools. I regularly exhibit my work and it has been commissioned by companies such as Aberdeen Standard Life and Chateaux Villepreux. My work was featured on last years The Great Pottery Throw down, as well as being featured in numerous media and publications.

What's included in the price?

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.
