Course:
Led by Bridget Timoney, this Tuesday evening class will have a specialist focus on surface decoration using coloured slips
This course offers the opportunity for pottery beginners and intermediate students to become familiar with or to improve their clay making skills. The making methods which will be covered are various hand-building techniques as well as throwing on the potter’s wheel, along with the opportunity to learn the application of surface decoration and pattern using slips.
Slips are coloured clays in a liquid state. Their application is broad; the spectrum of possibility with slip decoration ranges from precise, carefully considered linear decoration, to decoration which is entirely untamed and energetic.
All our regular classes are relaxed and friendly because we believe that a peaceful atmosphere is the ideal environment for creative learning and we nurture everyone’s creativity at their own pace.
