Workshops are run over two days, two weeks apart

First Session: Hand-building a Japanese style teabowl (using a traditional pinching and carving technique) followed by creating and joining two pinch pots together to form a vase, bottle or organic form. Texture can be added through mark making and imprinting techniques. Your work is then left to dry completely before being bisque fired in preparation for your return two weeks later.

Second Session: Glazing and raku firing. Demonstration of basic glazing methods before glazing your own work. Fast-firing of the work takes place outside and your work will be ready to take away at the end of the firing.

This is an ideal entry level course for beginners as no experience is necessary. If you have some hand-building experience already you may develop your own project during the first session (subject to size/technique restrictions).

NB. Raku ware is for decorative use only.
