About this Event
This is a small beginners class for young people aged 12 - 18yrs. Students will learn to prepare and center clay, throw, trim and decorate tumblers, small bowls and side plates using electric pottery wheels.
This class will include an introduction to the sgraffitto surface decoration technique. Together pieces will be simply glazed and available to collect up to 2 weeks after the class finish date.
Young people attending this course need to be able to self manage, follow instructions and take responsibility for clean up at the end of the night. Please bring an apron, a towel, your creative spirit and a willingness to get a little bit dirty!
This is a 4-week Thursday evening class, 6 - 8 pm - students need a safe way to get home at the end of the night.
PLEASE NOTE** This is now a 4-week class, and there will be a break on the 27th June to allow enough time for your pieces to dry before being glazed in the final week.
Most clay, firing costs, slips and glazes are included. (those high production potters may need to bring their own clay after 5 kg of club clay is used up)
Please remember to stay home if you are unwell. Mask wearing during the class will be optional.
