Start Dates: Ongoing- see availability below
Level: Mixed ability- Suitable for absolute beginners & the more experienced Ceramicist
Course Length: 8 Weeks
Tutor: Sue Clark trained at Camberwell College of Art and specialised in hand-built individually designed pieces, each with its own unique character.
Course Content:
Sue will begin by teaching you the basic ‘coil technique’ and ‘slab technique’; then with lots of one to one tuition from Sue you will be able to produce your own idea90s, vases, bowls, sculpture, wall plaques…and much more!
All work is made from slabs or coils, not thrown on a wheel. This means that anyone, whatever their skill level, can make interesting and beautiful work.
Once you are happy with your piece, it is then bisque fired by Sue. From there Sue will teach about different glazes; you will then glaze the work yourself, and then Sue will glaze-fire the work.
Cost: £205 (per 8- week course)
All materials and firing costs are included in the price- so no hidden costs.
