Monday to Friday, August 26 – August 30, 2024
10:00am – 4:00pm

With a focus on coil and pinching techniques we will create human and animal forms in clay. Playing with scale and relationships these figures come together to tell a story. We will look at examples of historical and contemporary ceramics for inspiration. Spend five days with your hands in the clay; through demonstrations and practice learn some invaluable hand building skills and have fun to boot!

Students should bring: 

  • An apron
  • Modelling tools (our School will have the basic tools on hand)
