Play with Clay is a relaxed, hands-on workshop where you can spend a couple of hours exploring clay, with no plan or previous experience needed.
I'll introduce you to some simple hand-building techniques and show you different ways to shape, join, press and mark the clay. You'll also be able to experiment with texture and decorate your pieces using my own studio-made coloured slips.
From there, you're free to follow your own ideas. Make a small vessel, sculpture, ornament or curio, or just start playing with the material and see what happens.
I'll be around to demonstrate techniques, help you work through any tricky bits and offer ideas if you need them. There's no set project to follow, so you can work at your own pace and see where the clay takes you.
An introduction to clay
We'll start with a few simple hand-building techniques to get you going.
Time to make and experiment
The rest of the session is yours. Follow an idea, try something new or see what happens when you get your hands into clay.
Firing and glazing
You'll choose up two - three pieces to be fired. I'll take care of the drying, glazing and firing after the workshop. You can choose between a transparent glossy glaze or satin white, and your finished pieces will be ready to collect from the studio approximately two weeks later (or delivered by post if you’ve selected that option)
No experience needed
Whether you've worked with clay before or are trying it for the first time, you're very welcome.
Time: 18:30-21:00 / 2.5 hours
Location: London, E10 7FB
Class size: Small and intimate
Please wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting messy.
Your finished pieces will be ready for collection approximately two weeks after the workshop.
