Porcelain tealight holders

Description

In this session you will hand build two porcelain tealight holders. Embossing textures and patterns will add surface detail and accentuate the translucent qualities of this pure white clay, creating beautifully delicate finished pieces. There are plenty of textures to choose from in the studio, but feel free to bring your own to press in, you may have a favourite flower or a particular textured fabric you would like to use. 6 spaces available.

My interest in ceramics began when I took an evening class in pottery aged 17. I then went on to gain a degree in Ceramics and 3D design at Bath Spa University, and after that a Masters degree in Ceramics at the Royal College of Art in London. I work in my purposely built garden studio. The studio is well equipped and has plenty of natural light. It's also a communal space as it is often busy with the students who come to my classes, which makes it a lovely space to work in.
