5 WEEK HANDBUILDING COURSE | ALL LEVELS

£200.00

HANDBUILDING - ALL LEVELS

The 5 week course will guide you through the basics of hand building.

If this is your first time working with clay, this is a brilliant way to be introduced to clay as a material. You will begin your session by handling soft clay by rolling out coils to later use to make a pot of your choice. On subsequent sessions, your instructor will demonstrate how to use the slab roller compress clay to long sheets that can be cut and shaped to create larger scale work. The last session will be dedicated to the process of glazing. Each student will be able to pick from 8-10 of our studio glazes to glaze their pieces.

For those who are more experienced, you are very welcome and we will explore the techniques you find most suited to your aims. We will then help you improve your skills and aim for those forms you wish to pursue.

The course allows you to keep 6 - 8 pots per student (size-dependent), if you do wish to keep further pots, you can pay £10 per extra vessel directly on the website under the ‘extra pot payment’ tab. This fee is to cover the clay, firings and glazing. We do however encourage students to be as critical of their work as possible and only keep what they know they will use, or is going to sit proudly somewhere to look at, as we want to aim to be as environmentally friendly as possible and clay can only be recycled pre their firings, but not after!
