Ceramics

Make a slab mug and more!

Starting with just a ball of clay you will learn all the skills you need to create your own unique mug using a slab mould.  

Once you've made your mug there will be time to make other items during the course with the guidance of your tutor, Julianne. 

Your fee includes clay, firing and glazing of your masterpieces.

You will need to bring these things with you each week:

• Pottery tools -you can purchase a cheap set of tools from a bargain dollar store or art shop - these come in a pack with sponge, wire, wooden tools, and metal pin tool or alternatively you can find things to suit around your home including knife, fork, skewers etc.
• Glazing tools -Hogs bristle brushes various sizes or hake brushes can be purchased from bargain dollar stores or art shops.
• An apron or wear old clothes and shoes....playing clay is messy fun!
• Glad wrap
• Plastic bag(s)
• CHUX
• Bucket to carry home tools - which will need to be cleaned off site.
• Container for water (i.e. recycled yoghurt container)
• Small, lidded container to hold slurry (a mix of clay and water)
• Newspaper

Please don’t worry if you are unable to have all items for the first class.

By the end of the course, you will take home your creations to be enjoyed for many years to come.
