A Throw-Down Taster
Sat 22 Apr 2023 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Description
An opportunity to ‘throw’ some clay on the potter’s wheel …… guided by Mike Child.
Mike has been making ceramics in the Thanet area for over 40 years and brings his experience both as potter and teacher to the festival in his own studio space.
After a brief explanation and guided demonstration of using clay on the wheel from Mike, participants will be able to try this fascinating technique for themselves gaining personal insights into its allure.
The sessions are designed to focus on the experience, so there will be no ‘end product’ as such but participants are welcome to use photography to have mementos from the event.
Requirements: Participants will need suitable protection for their clothing - such as overalls, an old shirt or apron, be able to roll sleeves up securely above the elbows and, if necessary, tie their hair back whilst working. The studio is cool, so warm clothing is recommended.
