Level: beginner and intermediate. 

All our courses are fun and informal, this course is suitable to adults and accompanied teenage guests. You do not need to know how to draw for this course. I can provide you with a template.

What is paint pouring?
Acrylic pouring is a painting technique where acrylic paint is mixed with a pouring medium and then poured onto a surface in a variety of ways. The surface is tilted in each direction to let the paint flow and the way the colours interact is unpredictable, yet always interesting.

You will be learning how to prepare the perfect mix for all your paint pouring projects. I will be showing you a paint pouring drag technique. I have a wide choice of colours to choose from.

We will be making 1 project:
1 silhouette on a medium size canvas.

Please make sure that you are wearing comfortable clothing and shoes. For practical reasons, we will be providing you with an apron, but paint can still splash your garments, please make sure that you are not wearing your best clothes!

At the end of the course, your masterpiece will not be dry. I will be providing you with a takeaway boxe for you to be able to carry your work home. 
Please make sure that your car boot is empty for you to be able to lay your work flat.
Should you wish not to take risks, you can always leave your work to dry with me and collect it at a later date.

Street parking is available nearby.

Paint Pouring Silhouette course - Bracknell

General Admission

Berwick-upon-Tweed

Northumberland is the Land of Castles - so why not come build your own!
Our beautiful studio is just five minutes walk from Ford Castle, and as Northumberland is an ancient landscape peppered with castles and towers of all shapes and sizes, inspiration for your own ceramic fortifications isn't hard to find!

Ford Castle - just five minutes from the studio!

This hand-building pottery session has been designed for the young and un-young, but will require focus and concentration! You will create a castle tower using the slab-building method before adding windows, arrow slits, roofs, draw-bridges, portcullises, chimneys etc (basically whatever you fancy) in just two hours! Although simple in principle, it will involve all your creativity - but first you'll have to decide whether your castle is the setting for a medieval siege or a fairy tale! The basic method will be outlined at the start, and then it's up to you to create your castle! Once finished, your castle will stay at the studio to be fired, dip-glazed and then re-fired. If you have added windows or other openings they would make beautiful tea light holders. [But we recommend battery powered tea lights or fairly lights at the towers will get very hot with a candle in...]

These two towers have more of the fairy -tale about them...

There are only six places per session - this allows enough access to support for everyone to be successful! As this is a creative class designed to be accessible to all including younger potters, we must insist that a parent or guardian attends with any participant aged 16 or under. The numbers are limited to avoid over-crowding in the workshop. Each ticket books a maker's-seat at the pottery table. If you are going to attend as a (free) spectator, please make a note of this at the time of booking.

These two examples feel more military - one being menaced by a giant squid, the other with it's draw-bridge lowered...

If you book a place for a young person and feel they will need help in creating their castle, please come along and help them (as a non-paying spectator). Even with only six people booked in a session, it can be difficult to support everyone in the way they need. Again, please note this at the time of booking.

The ticket price covers all tuition, tools, firings and glaze for one castle tower. Please note that these pots will be glazed in just one colour - dip-glazed as you request. 

A word of warning - the kiln Gods can be fickle, and despite doing everything possible, some pieces will fail, crack or blow up (!) in the kiln. There are no guarantees in pottery, not even for seasoned potters. A second word of warning - working with pottery can be hugely addictive. You have been warned!

The New Ford Studio is housed on the ground floor of the old Reading Rooms - you will find it just up the road from Lady Waterford Hall. Nearby are many attractions and places to walk, shop and eat; how about a near by Narrow-guage Railway (that runs to Etal Castle and back), a working flour mill, a Village Shop & Tearoom, a heavy horse centre, a micro-brewery, or a Riverside cafe? 

Please note - access to the studio is only via a set of external stone steps, and there is a single toilet available on site. The booking cost (£30.00) secures a spot at the maker's table; if you need to stay to support a younger participant, please make sure you have noted this when you book your ticket!

If you need your work posting out to you or someone else, please ensure you book an additional postage and packing ticket!
And finally - There is ample free parking at Ford, at Heatherslaw and at Etal. Ravn Clay sits at the heart of the Estate, which also offers camping, glamping, B&Bs and guests houses. And there’s plenty more to do and see while you are here - 

Heatherslaw Light Railway
Etal Castle (English Heritage)
Heatherslaw Mill
Hay Farm Heavy Horse Centre
Lady Waterford Hall
Flodden Battlefield
Loads of little eateries, pubs and shops etc
Spectacular scenery, walking and countryside
