We are back to convening in Nerd Club this January to kick off the year with your new course or expand your passion for ceramics. If you haven’t the foggiest about ceramics and you want you give it a go, this course brings the basics of hand building and forming.
If you have done a course with us or elsewhere, we will be running a self lead group, to dip on some techniques and pick our brains for ideas.
The sessions cover the following ~
Week 1 ~ 28th January : Introduction to handbuilding in a casual lecture format covering all the basics, you will receive two types of clay to make pinch pots during the class and keep your hands busy.
Week 2 ~ 4th February : Making techniques covering slab building, coiling, slumping.
Week 3 ~ 11th February : Decorating techniques covering sgraffito with underglaze, lava glazing and dip glazing.
Week 4+5 ~ 18th + 25th February : Self lead project where you gather the skills learnt in the previous weeks to make a piece of your own. Using your preferred techniques and getting to get a bit more creative. We will be there to guide and facilitate anything you’d like to make.
