Ceramic Slipware Workshop

Weekend Ceramic Slipware Workshop with Erica Taylor Low

Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 March, 10am-3pm

Whether you are a beginner to clay or a wheel throwing wizard, this workshop is open to all levels. We will begin by making two pinch pots with two 300 gram balls of clay which will be joined together to make a form which we can later play with. We will discover how to use the wheel as a creative tool. Continuing the process by exploring slab built forms and developing shapes which use the ‘pillow technique’. I will aim to cover the basics of throwing to enhance our slab pillow and pinched forms.

The class will be split over a weekend, the Saturday will be action packed of making pots and playing with forms and incorporating a bit of throwing if desired but not necessary. Followed by a Sunday of decorating with slip being dipped, trailed and finger wiped. Our focus will be to enjoy the process and try new techniques.
