Course Overview
This course is perfect for those who have already explored the basics of hand-building and are ready to take on more challenging projects. Over six weeks, we’ll guide you through creating complex pieces, such as objects made by joining two parts together, including lid forms and more intricate shapes. You’ll also learn advanced techniques like the traditional Asian method of throw out clay slabs, which adds unique textures and character to your creations.
To make your pieces truly special, we’ll introduce you to Chinese decorative clay slip, a unique material used for surface decoration, allowing you to explore new ways to finish your work. You’ll also have the opportunity to experiment with various textures, shapes, and surface treatments to develop your personal style.
Each class is kept small, with a maximum of 6 participants, so you’ll receive plenty of individual attention from our experienced instructor. Over the six weeks, you can expect to create between 6-8 unique ceramic pieces, with the option to explore glazes and other finishes in our studio.
If you’re looking to refine your skills and push your creativity further, this course is for you. By the end, you’ll have a greater understanding of advanced hand-building techniques and will feel confident working independently on more complex projects.
