Course Content

You will learn practical clay handling skills and gain a basic understanding of the working hardness of clay by learning how to use the coiling technique to build a vase or planter.  You will learn techniques such as slip and score, to join sections of clay together and using a template to inform our shapes. Once we have made our project, we will glaze it using a combination of stoneware glazes and underglazes.

During this five-week course we will cover:

  • Basic clay handling
  • Joining coils of clay together
  • Basic hand building techniques
  • Combining underglazes and engobes where applicable
  • Exploring glazing techniques by practically decorating your work
