1 x 3 hours and 2 x 2 to 3 hours - Includes clay, glazes and firings
Teacher: Julie Martin
For beginner and intermediate potters (hand building) age 16 to 116 : )
In a small group setting of three or four students, this is a great opportunity to experience pottery making in a friendly and comfortable environment, and a perfect introduction to clay art!
Potters will explore hand building techniques to create their own collection, following the theme of the chosen class.
Breakfast and dessert plates: Make a set of 4 to 6 breakfast plates in this program, taking the time to plan and execute your choice of surface decoration. Sweet!. You can see some examples on our Instagram reels.
Botanical imprints: Pick your preferred leaves or flowers to imprint on your plates, small bowls, coasters and/or magnets, then we apply colour, and glaze them. The perfect spring project!
Sgraffito fun: Make a few pieces and explore the sgraffito technique to finish their surface. Sgraffito is a fun process where we apply underglaze colour, and then scratch a design off the coloured surface. Caution - it is kind of addictive!
If you are interested in learning how to use the pottery wheel (instead of hand building), please see our 'Pottery Wheel One-on-One' program.
