This course provides students with an introduction to many hand-building
techniques, including pinching, coiling and slabwork. These
techniques are all the elements needed to produce functional, sculptural and
decorative ceramics. The course will take you through the making, glazing and firing
processes. There will also be an opportunity to try wheel throwing too. There will
be some set projects to work on and then you will be given the freedom to create
your final piece for
marking. Students will be required to complete a workbook
alongside their studies to record and document their learning process and share
photographs of all the items they create whilst on the course. Although
this course is aimed at beginners, we also welcome more experienced learners
with the appreciation of who this course is aimed at. All students will be able to take home their final
pieces with them after the glaze
firing.
