We will be learning hand moulding, slab building, joining, forming with plaster moulds, pots, creative and expressive pots - abstract pieces, glaze recipes using oxides, coloured decorating slips, buckets of chemistry and more! All materials, equipment and firings provided. All levels welcome.
You will finish a piece every week and I will fire it for you. There will be a section every week for glaze testing and glaze application of previous week's work. We will be mixing up lots of exciting glaze materials. You do not need any experience, only an experimental mindset.

I can send out finished pieces for £4.50 or you can pick them up from my ceramics studio in nearly Portslade.
I have been working with ceramics and glaze for 20+ years. I have taught art and pottery in schools and with community groups. I love seeing people's styles and skills develop. The workshops are playful, fun and free with all the technical support you need. Workshops have up to 10 people for a comfortable buzz and learning atmosphere, sharing ideas together. No one leaves a workshop with the same piece and all the confidence to have a another go.
My work is best known for its complex melting glazes and quietly provocative design.
It has been commissioned by companies such as Aberdeen Standard Life and Chateaux Villepreux. Last year my condiment pot was featured on The Great Pottery Throw Down!
