Hand-Built Ceramic Sculpture

WHAT ITS ABOUT

This five-week introductory course will cover a range of techniques in creating ceramics. You will start the course learning how to create a cup/plate, and learning how to create a pinch pot which can then be turned into an animal. You will then move onto creating your own designs with the guidence of our tutor using the techniques you learn.

The final session will be painting your pieces before they go into the kiln for firing. 

The course includes the following at no extra cost:

  • 10kg bag of clay per person.
  • stains for painting your pieces, and clear glaze. 
  • The firing of your pieces created in the 5 sessions (anything over the 10kgs must be negotiated with the tutor and is not guareenteed). 

Your pieces will be avalible for pick up at OUSA Clubs and Socs within 3 weeks of the final session. 

REQUIREMENTS

No previous experience is required.
