Description
At the adult People’s Pottery Class beginners will be introduced to various methods of using clay to produce functional and artistic works. We will be exploring techniques like pinching, slab building, coiling, press-moulding, throwing and turning, slip decoration and glazing. Sessions will start with a demonstration of a technique and follow with plentiful making time.
Decoration will be explored through the use of slips, glazes and experimentation with surface texture.
Students will have an opportunity to work with 4 types of clay including earthenware and stoneware.
Returning students can benefit from the class and use it to continue practicing thechinques with full support of the instructor.
The emphasis of People’s Pottery classes is learning in a fun and sociable environment, with each individual working at their own pace doing what they enjoy most. Students are encouraged to investigate new ideas, techniques and the work of contemporary and historical makers if they are so inclined.
We will make functional items such as bowls, pots, jugs and dishes as well as experimental sculptural models and tiles.
All materials and firings are included in the price.
