Introduction to hand building and clay sculpture
Class Details
An afternoon of fun and relaxation. In this class you will learn the art of hand-building pots and vessels with pinch, coil and slab methods. You will be working in my brand new studio, open weekdays and Saturdays with some night classes available. This workshop will give the participants a chance to experiment and play with clay. All classes are limited to six students. Glazing days are separate and planned after the first firing. Release your inner sculptor and enjoy a relaxing afternoon of clay making. There is also a wide variety of making and decorating tools. Once you have finished your session, Kate will dry, and fire your chosen finished piece. She will then let you know when it's ready to pick up. In this class you will learn how to prepare your clay for firing. There are 6 places available on each course. They take place in a friendly, relaxed environment. If you have attended a class before, you can build on skills you have already acquired to create something different.
