Clay 101 - 3 hours of Hand building with clay  @Tinker

Learn to build ceramic objects using your hands and just a few simple tools!
Workshop is perfect for the beginner and beyond.

Join me as you learn the basics of working with clay through making a slab dish, a pinched vessel (eg. mug, vase, bowl) and a small sculptural item. All pieces will be glazed fired and returned to the studio for at a later date to be collected.

The cost of the class includes materials and kiln firings for small practice works and one final artwork. Please wear clothes that can get a little messy. All tools are supplied.

*Please note that this is not a ceramic wheel throwing class. This class does not include lessons on glazing or kiln firing. After the class, all final pieces will be left to dry and then glazed and fired locally. Your completed works will be available for collection a maximum of 6 weeks after your lesson.
