Details

Join the talented Cumbria-based ceramicist Cath Ball for an introduction to the world of hand-building

 You will produce artwork that’s not just beautiful but practical – something that you’ll love putting to good use.

If you’ve ever been put off trying ceramics by the need to master a pottery wheel, fear not. This is a relaxed workshop, in which you’ll use Catherine’s current favorite technique – hand building, using slabs of hand-rolled clay which you will then add colour and pattern using slip.

The workshop is aimed at complete beginners, but more experienced potters wanting to try a new technique are welcome too and will enjoy learning something new.

You will use a white Stoneware clay alongside coloured slips to add decorations as you wish, making each mug unique and special to you. Your mug will be glazed and fired back in Cath's Studio and will be robust and water-tight and ready to pick up at later date from the makers mill.

Please note there is a £20 material cost payable to the tutor on the day. This covers the cost of firing and glazing your pot following the workshop.
