Exploring ceramics - November 4 week Pottery course with Poppy Davis

Join professional ceramics artist and tutor Poppy Davis from Clod Studios for an immersive and hands on four week course that will introduce you to the joys of working with clay. Your beautiful finished pieces will range from bowls to mugs, all decorated by you with glazes and slips.

What to Expect:

Week 1:

Drop mould bowls.
We will create bowls using slabs and moulds and decorate them with paper resist and slip colours.

Week 2

Slab vase making with relief decoration. We will create vases using slab building techniques, and add relief shapes for decoration.

Week 3

Coil built mug. We will roll out coils of clay and build up layers to create the mug body and add handles.

Week 4

Glazing week: we will glaze all of the pottery from the previous 4 weeks using a white or transparent glaze with a selection of different coloured glaze stain washes to choose from.

All necessary materials are supplied at no additional cost including firing fee.
