Saturdays 10:30am - 1pm
Grab a coffee and join us on Saturday mornings as we explore traditional handbuilding techniques. This course is designed to help students build a strong foundation in coiling and slab building, while creating functional pieces for the home. Alongside guided projects that introduce key techniques, you will be encouraged to design and create a personal project. Expect small class sizes and plenty of individual support.
Course duration: 5 × 2.5hrs
Learning Objectives:
Build a strong foundation - learn how to prepare and work with coils and slabs
Gain confidence working with clay through its different stages, including slip, plastic clay and leather-hard clay
Learn how to construct strong, well-finished forms
Develop an understanding of surface decoration using slips and simple finishing methods
Design and execute a thoughtful personal project while applying the techniques learned throughout the course
Course fees include firing costs for 4 finished pieces.
Important things to note:
These classes run over five consecutive weeks. Please confirm your availability before finalising your booking to ensure the best experience. As class sizes are kept small, rescheduling sessions may not be possible.
This class is not suitable for under 16s.
If the course you’d like to take is full, I’d be happy to add you to the waiting list. Please email me at rachel@rbpots.com
