For those who have had little or no experience of pottery, it can be a little daunting to work in the studio and learn to create handbuilt and thrown forms. This two day course introduces you to all the basic techniques: you will learn to coil, slab and throw pots, and to sculpt in clay. You will try various decorative techniques, including sgraffito, slip-painting, underglazing and glazing. The course will also include a smoke-firing, weather permitting. Suitable for beginners and those with limited ceramics experience. | | SATURDAY | SUNDAY | | 10.00-1.00 | Introduction & guided tourClays, firings and glazeCoiling projectIntroduction to throwing | TurningSlab projectColoured claysThrowing | | 1.00-2.30 | Lunch | Lunch | | 2.30-5.30 | Prepare slabs for slab potThrowingGlazingPinch pebbles | Surface decoration for greenwareCoil projectSlip painting |
