This is a fun activity in Forest Gate, London
Important venue update: All workshops will take place at our new studio at 377 Station Road, Forest Gate.
In this ceramic hand-building class, we will explore the oldest forms of pottery, ancient female deities.
Together with our tutor, you will understand:
- The basics of clay
- The history of ceramic female deities
- How to come up with your design
- How to shape and form your object using pinching techniques
- How to ensure your design is functional
- How to decorate your object with different colours clay engobe
After the class, your piece will be fired and glazed for you. You will have a choice of transparent glaze or our recycled glazes (which change throughout the year).
Your piece will then be fired to 1220C.
You will be required to return to the studio 6 weeks after you class date to collect your work. Postage is available at extra cost.
The class uses recycled clay and glazes from the studio. We encourage thoughtful making and ask you only to keep the ceramic pieces you are most happy with.
Please note: We strive to help you create something amazing during your pottery class. Because each piece is handmade and involves many variables (such as clay handling, glaze, and firing conditions), we’re unable to offer refunds or replacements for defects or damages that occur in items you’ve made.
