This six-week ceramic sculpture course is ideal for beginners and experienced makers alike who want to explore or advance their skills in ceramic sculpture.
It blends ceramic technique, theory, and creative practice for you to make the ceramic projects you want to make, in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
Hosting a mix of new and returning participants, we begin with a formal, guided lesson to build foundational skills and knowledge. From there, your teacher, Aoife, draws on a wide range of techniques, and tailors each lesson to support you as you create your own projects.
Over the course of the term, you'll create, and then hand-paint, 1–6 ceramic pieces using coloured underglaze. Aoife will then apply a clear glaze to each piece, and your finished works will be ready for collection within 2–4 weeks.
Class Atmosphere:
This relaxed and friendly workshop is LGBTQI+ inclusive and welcomes all skill levels, from beginners to more experienced makers. There’s no pressure for perfection here, Aoife prioritises process, learning, play, and building community.
What’s Included: All materials and firing costs are covered in the course price.
Covid Safety:
Let Aoife know if you have covid, been in contact with someone who has covid, or you have symptoms; Aoife will reschedule your ticket for a date in the future.
