How much
£360 per person for a block of six sessions each 2.5 hrs long

What will we do
I will demonstrate techniques as well as guiding you in what you’d like to make. The sessions will be tailored to you as much as possible but will also look at:
- making botanical influenced pieces in porcelain
- making vessels in porcelain paper clay
- working with mixed media
- decorating with slips, using oxides, and colouring clay
Following on from the course, If you wish to book further handbuilding dates, you can continue with the classes and expand on what you have learned.
Glazing and Firing
You will be encouraged to learn how to glaze your own work, with help from Elaine if needed. Items made during the six week course will then be fired for you and all fired work will be available to be collected from the studio within six weeks of the end of the course.
* Please note, very large pieces, sets of multiple plates and/or large quantities of work made may have to be charged a little extra if necessary. This can be discussed during the sessions.
Cancellations
If you need to cancel, some cancellation fees are necessary as it is rarely possible to fill the space at short notice. Please contact Elaine via email for the full terms and conditions
