Learn to Make a Sculptural Ceramic Pot in Brighton & Hove

Learn to make a pot, vase, jug or cup form and then use that technique to build out a sculptural form. Come and explore slab building and hand moulding in clay. I have patterns for making pots, or you can design your own. We will learn slabbing, joining, and clay forming techniques. We will use decorating oxides, tools for textures and discover some of the exciting chemistry in buckets of glaze.

You will make a piece or set of pieces using any tools and materials you like in my ceramics and glaze kit.

I will take your piece away at the end of the session to bisque fire followed by a transparent glaze firing over your design. You can pick your work up from my studio or I can send it out to you for a post and packaging fee.

You'll be hosted by

Helen Rebecca Ceramics and Design

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!
