Learn From A Professional Ceramicist | Build On Existing Experience
Six weeks
+ Structure
In this six-week course, we’ll build your confidence in ceramics, pushing you to create more complex work, whether at a larger scale or with refined techniques.
We'll take you through three new techniques, not covered in our Introduction course - Kirinuki, Nerikomi, and creating/refining customized templates using Tyvek paper.
You'll then come up with an idea of where you want to take your work, and our professional instructor will show you how to get there. We’ll talk about inspiration, where to find it, and how to let it lead you, techniques and nudging their limits, and the wide, WIDE world of decoration.
*Clay, materials, and tools included. Pieces will be glazed and fired by us after the course completion.
