This is a follow on class from our Intro to Handbuilding and Glazing 1 and 2- Although not a pre-requisite to join in- Although we will be spending a bit more time on some more complicated shapes, this would suit a beginner. We will explore and perfect our joining skills as we work on some larger pieces. This course is a relaxing way to pick up a few pottery basics. We will make a few key pieces and explore some glazing options, handbuilding techniques, working with coloured clays You will have access to the clay, glazes, underglaze transfers, slip casting. Some key lessons are: Slab Building a large Pitcher Coil building a large moon chip and dip bowl Introduction to slip Casting Introduction to coloured clay. We will still learn in a relaxing environment similar to the Clay and Sip classes and will listen to a bit of the BeeGees and Stevie Nicks as we learn the gentle and slow process of hand-building with clay. I will guide you through the steps of working with clay and learning some basic skills. We will be working with a dark speckled clay. You will make a few pieces 2 hours every week for 5 weeks. Firing Fees: All materials and firing fees are included. Pottery Breakage Clay is a fickle medium- I take great care in looking after all students pieces- but the nature of Pottery is that it can break for many reasons. No refunds are provided in the unfortunate event that your pottery breaks or cracks in the kiln. Pottery is a very delicate process.
