Hand Building Pottery Animals Workshop

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 her in the studio to learn how to create your own animal in clay. You are welcome to work with the Whispers From The Woods oracle deck and companion book to help you to channel your intuition and create your own spirit animal, create a special pet or your very own creation! You will be given a wheel thrown base, that Carys has prepared for you, to add to and build upon to create your own animal. Once you have created your animal; you can decorate with underglaze ceramic colours and tissue transfers. During the two and a half hour workshop she will take you through the steps to build your piece and you can decorate it using under glazes and tissue transfer. She 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.
