Clay Hand Building Class for Intermediates

When you have some experience and confidence in making, join 3 hour Open Studio Projects where you can mainly work at your own pace to make your own self-directed ceramic projects — perhaps a dinner set, set of cups, sculptural projects or ongoing making. You'll have my guidance, assistance and support as you need it. ​This weekly group workshop encourages generous sharing of ceramics experience, ideas, experimentation, knowledge and fun. You’ll also learn new ceramics skills, techniques and tips and hints to successfully complete your projects. You can try out different clays, glazes, tools, techniques and even gold lustres.If you don't have any experience, I recommend that you do my 4 week Start-up for Beginners (see above). Learning these basic skills you'll be ready to come along. In these workshops:

• you'll have individual attention and the opportunity to learn from others
• the workshop is mall with up to four people per class
• you'll have help to plan your project and assess skills and materials needed
• help to develop your design ideas
• help to refine your making skills
• recommendations for clay types, glazes, testing and tools that may be needed
• guidance you through your project from beginning to end
• address ceramics skills gaps
