Workshop programme

​

Thursday 5th august 10am –12pm ….Pinch pot bells 

We will create a pinch pot, in which we form a pot from a single lump of clay. We can add patterns and designs using texture and stamps and add coloured slip to the pot to give it a character. It can be a tyrannosaurus rex or a fairy princess. Then we will make some legs to hang below to give our bell a ring when it is fired and hung.

​

Thursday 12th August 10am –12pm ….Cosy coiled pot 

We will roll out coils with our hands and learn how to position them to create different shapes. adding spirals and patterns as we go. Express your self through one of the oldest forms of pottery.

 

Thursday  19th August 10am –12pm ….Picture perfect plaque

We will plan a simple picture on paper and use that drawing to create a layered scene on a tile with texture and colour

​

Thursday 26th August 10am –12pm

….Making myself in clay
