What You'll Learn
The ceramics workshop will enable you to develop your creative skills and a personal approach to your ceramic work.
For beginners, the course will enable you to learn a range of skills and techniques including: how to prepare clay, using moulds (press moulding), pinching, slab building and coiling. As well as being introduced to decorative processes such as slip decoration, stencils, sgraffito, glazing and underglazing techniques.
Alternatively, more advanced learners can receive support and any technical advice in order to refine their skills and knowledge. Work at your own pace and create your own artwork whether it is making larger and more complex forms or your own dinner set!
