Description
Make a cup and plate. In this session, you will be shown two different techniques to make a cup and a plate, slab building and press moulding. These can also be decorated with textures and coloured slips during the session. The pieces made will then be dipped in a white or clear glaze for you after their first firing. Work should be ready to collect 2/3 weeks after the session. This is not a guaranteed time scale, and can take longer depending on drying time/kilns. Please be aware things can break in the kiln, it is unlikely but is one of the pitfalls of ceramics! Please note the potters wheel is not used in this class. Any work produced over the duration of the course will need to be collected, as I am unable to post out items.
