Handbuilder’s Week
Rebecca Appleby will be delivering our new Handbuilder’s Week. In this three day intensive you will learn how to build coil pots, assemble slab pots, and develop the confidence to start experimenting with hybrid techniques. Refreshments included. Add-on glaze session available.
Rebecca explores balance and structure within the built and the natural environment. She’s a gutsy handbuilder who makes visceral forms - you’ll learn loads of pro techniques and processes.
Timings: 9:30am-5:20pm.
Dates:
Monday 14 June - Wednesday 16 June (glaze add-on Thursday 29 July, 08:30-10:30)
Monday 19 July - Wednesday 21 July (glaze add-on Thursday 26 August, 08:30-10:30)
Monday 18 October - Wednesday 20 October (glaze add-on Thursday 2 December, 08:30-10:30)
Potter’s Week
We’ve been testing the start times for our Potter’s Week and have come to the conclusion that 6am is perhaps a bit gruelling for a leisurely activity. We have taken the decision to move the timings of this course - the sessions for our Potter's Week will now take place 8am-2pm.
Learn how to centre and manipulate clay on the potter's wheel. Make consistent cylinders and develop the confidence to start throwing pots. Learn how to skim, trim and turn to make functioning mugs and bowls. Refreshments included. Add-on glaze session available.
Dates available:
Monday 24 May - Thursday 27 May (glaze add-on Thursday 24 June, 08:30-10:30)
Monday 28 June - Thursday 1 July (glaze add-on Thursday 29 July, 08:30-10:30)
Monday 2 August - Thursday 5 August (glaze add-on Thursday 26 August, 08:30-10:30)
Monday 6 September - Thursday 9 September (glaze add-on Thursday 7 October, 08:30-10:30)
Monday 1 November - Thursday 4 November (glaze add-on Thursday 2 December, 08:30-10:30)
