11 Upwards Ceramics Course

I have spaces available on a new, exciting hand building course aimed at students aged 11-18. The workshop will take place on a Tuesday evening from 6 till 7.30pm and will run for 6 weeks.  The class is £60, which is inclusive of all clay, glaze and firings.  We will explore different hand building methods, such as slab, coils and mould making.  Every student will be able to explore various decorating techniques and the work will then be glazed and fired for you to take away. Work made may be added to school coursework.

Starting end of September 2013.

Black Clay - A New Venture

This is my unfired work, showing my new venture into black clay. After coming to view my work at Art in Clay, Valentines (based in Stoke-On-Trent) commisssioned me to trial their black grogged clay; this is a much coarser body to one that I would normally use, but I've really enjoyed adding texture to the surface. I am hoping that the black will be intense, almost jet-like. It will allow me to make pieces where the colour is integral, rather than glazing as an add on.

 

 

I am assured that once fired, it's colour darkens.
