What you'll do

Experience the art of slip-cast ceramic-making with passionate expert Ryan Foote at his gorgeous studio in Melbourne.

In this 2-day intensive course, you'll work with your hands, learn and develop your new skills, and take away your hand-finished pieces!

Slipcasting is a method of making ceramics with a liquid clay body which is poured into plaster moulds and allowed to form a layer on the inside walls of the mould before emptying the remaining slip, and then demoulding.

Throughout the course, you will learn the basics of understanding clay and its properties, surface and texture; how to mix and pour the slip, and then demould and clean up the shape. You'll also learn some of the many technical skills involved with slipcasting from Ryan.

From layering slips to splash techniques, painting, engraving, and sgraffito, you will also learn a range of glazing techniques from hand-applied bubble glaze to brushing and using gloppy glazes.

Spend some time getting in touch with your creative side and enjoy making unique pieces for your kitchen at this ceramic course in Melbourne!

Please note:

This course does not teach you how to make plaster moulds.
Additional clay and glaze can be purchased onsite.
Your work should be picked up from the studio within two weeks of being fired.
