3-day Hand Building Pottery Course
Wednesday 20 August - Friday 22 August | 10:00am - 1:00pm | Suitable for ages 16+
Pottery hand building is a wonderful way to create your own unique clay creations using just your hands and some simple tools. In this course, you will learn how to coil, pinch, and slab clay to make a variety of beautiful pottery items.
One of the first techniques you will learn is pinching - pinching clay involves using your fingers to shape and mould the clay into different forms, such as cups or plates. You will then learn coiling, where you roll out long ropes of clay and stack them on top of each other to create shapes like bowls or vases. Slab building involves rolling out flat pieces of clay and then cutting and piecing them together to make larger objects like boxes or trays.
At the end of the course, all participants will be able to choose two of their own pieces to have glazed and fired to take home and keep.
Designed and led by Merissa Hylton, a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in London.
