The workshop fee is $110.00

These beginners hand building classes will introduce you to working with clay off the wheel.

With a maximum of 6 persons in each class, you will focus on learning different techniques used for building objects by hand – pinching, coiling or slab work.

what each of these techniques offer either individually or in combination to build an item of your choice.

In this 2 hour workshop you will have a choice of two clay bodies – white or a buff coloured groggy – to make your piece/s with – samples are available to help you decide.

What will you make? Some ideas to think about are either a cup/mug, vase or similar small object. You will learn the basic fundamentals of pinch pots, coiling or slab building.

As an added bonus, you will be gifted a beginner’s 8 piece tool set to take home with you.

This is truly a “focussed on you” experience where you can leave with a finished piece. If time allows and weather dependent (clay takes longer to dry in the cold air) you will have the opportunity to paint your piece/s with slip for decoration (black or white available) and then all you have to do is decide whether to leave your, with me to fire rendering them functional, food safe and waterproof or take them with you as airdry pieces

Note- air dry is not vitirified, it is neither waterproof nor food safe and will deteriorate with time. It can be painted with acrylic paints of your choice (not provided) or sealed (i.e. bondcrete).
