Ceramics Handbuilding Workshop – Loving Pots and Thingy Dishes

Join Camille Kersley, professional artist, Artshealth practitioner and Counsellor for a supportive, fun and invigorating ceramic workshop.

There is absolutely no experience necessary (in anything) to join this workshop.

During this workshop, you will learn how to:

• Employ simple, tactile hand building techniques such as– paddling, adding, pinching etc. when constructing your work.
• Employ ancient and contemporary surface decorating techniques such as impressing, sgraffito, sculpting, and under-glaze painting.
• Attach wet clay parts securely so as things don’t fall apart.
• Understand some of clay’s idiosyncrasies that can impact your work (shrinkage, memory, personalities).
• Experiment and trust in your own creative processes.
• Your completed works (up to three) will be taken by Camille at the end of the workshop.

This next process involves a kiln firing to1000c, then a clear glaze (liquid glass) applied individually to each piece, and then a second final firing to 1200c.

This is a time-consuming process so please allow approximately 3 weeks for the completed works to be available for collection/delivery.
