There are many techniques to master (too many for one day), so you will need to register on to more than one session, if you want to decorate or glaze your work, and develop a project or skill.
Students are welcome to focus on sculptural and decorative pieces or functional items. The tutor will help students develop hand-building techniques and also using a potter's wheel to form clay into shapes.
Students will set up their workspace and can learn skills like: centring the clay and opening it into a vessel, shaping their creations using the wheel, as well as various hand-building techniques such as coil, slab, and sculpting. Over time, this series of workshops will provide a comprehensive introduction to both methods, allowing students to explore their creativity and develop their skills in ceramics.
Basic clays and glazes are provided, and students are welcome to pay for and order more specialist materials through the college.
The fee you paid covers your pottery experience, and you can take your item home with you on the day if you prefer not to have it fired right away!
If you do want to get it fired, here are your options:
£5 to have your best item fired.
£15 for firing and shipping your best item directly to you.
If you'd like to have more than one item fired, please talk to us on the day.
Enrol onto more then one session, and you will have a chance to learn more about glazes and decorate your work.
Students can continue to develop their skill on this series or join longer courses at the college.
