6 week pottery course

Details

This course is for anyone wanting to explore pottery and glazing. I have a theme however if you have a design or a definite idea I will try my best to help you create that. The course is mainly hand building with a 'throwing experience'. 6 week throwing courses also available.

The course is structure as following.

Week 1- Making the form, adding textures,

Week 2- Making the form manipulating, cutting out, textures and making test tiles

Week 3- Manipulating the form, add handles, lids, extra detail and refining

Week 4- Testing glazes on test tiles

Week 5- Review Test Tiles results- either More Test tiles or Glaze final piece

Week 6- Glaze Final piece. If you are finished.. small make to finish such as mug or vessel.. Your choice.
2 weeks later.. we have a celebration with a mini exhibition 😀

If you can't make a session- you will have the opportunity to finish your work in another class. Just let me know and I'll book you in. Usually Saturday afternoon.

This is a 6 week course where you will finish your major piece and thrown peices... however lots of people stick with the studio and see it as a 6 week block!

If you don't finish in time because your major peice is more complicated- then you are welcome to finish when I have availability on a Saturday.

I do accept under 16 with prior conversation.

Instructions

Feel free to bring an apron! Nothing else is needed 😀
