Join me for 2 half-day fully immersive and hands on pottery experience in my beautiful garden studio in the Essex countryside. You will have full use of my studio, including exclusive use of 2 pottery wheels.
 
On the first day we will start the session with refreshments for you to enjoy while I give a short demonstration on the wheel. You will learn how the wedge clay, centre it on the wheel, and make a simple vessel. I will then encourage you to let your creativity flow, the joy in throwing is as much in the process as it is in the outcome. You will select your 3 favourite pieces, which will be dried to the leather hard stage.
 
The second day will be booked between a day and 4 days after the initial experience. During this workshop I will teach you how to trim your pots, removing the excess clay from the bases, and refining the shapes.
 
We will then explore different decorating techniques, from slip application, to sgraffito and faceting.
 
I will then fully dry your pieces, bisque fire, glaze and glaze fire, in a colour of your choice. These will be ready to collect around 4 weeks later or can be posted (additional cost charged on the day).
 
Each session will last approx 2 ½ hours, and will be booked at a conventient time for you, sessions at the weekend are more limuted, and booked on a first come, first served basis.
