6 Week Handbuilding Evening Class

Description

Wednesdays 7pm-9.00pm. (Max 12 students per class)

At Clay With Carole we offer group classes for all ages and abilities in hand building in clay.

During this thorough and enjoyable 6-week evening course you will learn how to prepare your clay, and the main methods of hand building. You will be introduced to a variety of decorating techniques, ceramic materials and glazing. Each week you will make your original pieces using a different technique of hand building and through the duration of the course you can experiment with decorating techniques, application of ceramic materials, and a range of glazes.

You will experience both earthenware clay techniques (low temperature firings) and stoneware clay techniques (high temperature firings) and be guided on how to use the relevant clay, material, and glaze for each type of ware. If you are joining the class as a more experienced student, you will be able to work on your own projects independently with tutorial support. You can work independently on the pottery wheel if you have some experience or have undertaken a private wheel session previously. The atmosphere of the group class is informal, friendly, and supportive.
