Hand Building Pottery Workshop - Houses, Fairy Houses and Oil Burners

Soak up the creative atmosphere of a working pottery studio and join the studio community of makers. Work under the tutorage of artist Carys Martin to learn the techniques and tricks to creating in clay and to explore the different surface decoration options. Join Carys in the studio on Sunday 27th April 10am-12noon, to learn how to create in clay. You will be given a wheel thrown base, that Carys has prepared for you, to add to and build upon or you can choose to build your houses from the slab technique. You can make a little fairy house for a tealight or oil burner that you can pop a little light in or add a base and use for blooms! During the 2 hour workshop I will take you through the steps to build your piece and you can decorate it using under glazes and tissue transfer. Carys will then carefully dry your piece before its first firing and will clear glaze and fire your piece. It will be ready for collection from the studio in 2-3 weeks.
