About this Event

This throwing workshop is for all levels - suitable for those who wish to master the skill or people who just want to give throwing a try.

The workshop can work as a single class but is also open for makers to attend weekly to develop their practice. hone their technique and continue individual projects.

THE ASSOCIATE ARTISTS

Iris has a BA in Fine Art at Colchester School of Art and has a wealth of experience, regularly designing and leading a variety of workshops and activities for a number of cultural institutions. For Iris, clay is a material that encourages a calm and reflective way of working. Her classes are light, yet focused and will leave you with a new perspective.

Sam works within illustration & ceramics. His work celebrates playfulness with bright colours and cheerful (sometimes cheeky) characters. Sam started developing his ceramic practice at Colchester Makerspace and now can't get enough of it.
