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 hand built and thrown forms. This five 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.
Have you thought about making your own Raku kiln? If you're a potter with access to an electric kiln for biscuit firing and would like to build a raku kiln, test it and take it home in the boot of your car, we are happy to have you along for two days of this 3-day course - the Saturday to make your kiln and the Sunday to test it. Materials cost approximately €220 and we will order these for you (given about 2-3 weeks notice). The two-day participation will cost you €150. Call Adrian on 0879696901 to discuss.
Students can embrace the full range of techniques and cover as much ground as a full term at the Pottery. The classes of up to 10 people work from 10.00am - 4.30pm each day, with 90 mins break for lunch - long enough to visit the various snack venues in Kinsale.
