pottery workshop details

Slab building and slip decoration.
£80 per day including materials and lunch.
Saturday 23rd January 2010 10am - 4pm
Wednesday 10th March 2010 10am - 4pm
Suitable for beginners or those with experience.

You will be shown the slab building techniques Bryony uses to make vases and dishes. You will then design your own paper templates and build your own pieces using leather hard clay. Your slabs can be textured using stamps and rollers to enhance your design. The pieces can then be decorated with the layers of coloured slips Bryony uses in her own work. This gives plenty of scope for imaginative surface pattern design. We have a good selection of source material for you to be inspired by.
All pieces are then clear glazed and fired by Bryony, and are available for collection or postage three weeks after the workshop.
