Over 6 weeks we’ll be creating ceramic pieces on the theme of nature and the city. Our urban environment shows us the tenacity of nature not only to survive in adversity but to adapt and thrive. You’ll be using various hand-building techniques such as slab rolling, coiling and pinching, as well as how to use moulds to create forms. We’ll be decorating with materials, carving & stamps to create pattern, followed by underglaze and glaze methods to decorate.
