‘Make, Paint and Glaze’ Ceramic Hand Building Workshop (Session 2)
Join Amanda from Everyday Clay for a fun and relaxing 2-session ceramic hand-building workshop!
Held across a fortnight, Amanda will introduce you to the basics of making, painting and glazing your very own pottery without the need for a wheel. Whether you’re a novice or have some clay experience, all are welcome in this hands-on workshop designed to guide you through the entire ceramic process, from start to finish.
Workshop Session 1: Sink your hands into soft clay and learn to pinch, coil and slab to create basic forms such as plates, mugs, bowls, and more – the sky’s the limit! Following a live art demonstration, you’ll have time to freely create your own individual pieces, with support and feedback from Amanda as needed. Your pieces will be taken back to Amanda’s studio at the end of Session 1 and fired in her studio kiln, in preparation for painting and glazing during Session 2.
Workshop Session 2: Return to the studio for an opportunity to paint and glaze the pieces that you made during Session 1. This is an exciting part of the handmade process that allows personal touches of colour, style and vibrancy to be added to your pieces. Choose from a handpicked selection of Everyday Clay studio paints and glazes, and begin exploring their applications to achieve various decorative effects.
After Session 2, your handmade pieces will be fired a second time and ready for collection from Whimsical Creatives in approximately 2-3 weeks.
