Pottery: Taster Workshop (09C09FC/26)

What will I learn?

During the session, you'll learn how to prepare and join clay slabs to create a simple upright pot. You will practise making clay relief shapes selecting your favourite to attach to your pot's surface as well as decorating your handmade pot with coloured engobes and slips. Making your own handmade item will increase your confidence handling clay and a taste of one of the techniques you could develop further on one of our pottery courses.

After your piece has dried it will be bisque fired for you to collect at a later date.
