What is provided?
- A range of different types of clay.
- Engobes-(liquid pigments and coloured clays for surface painting).
- Pre-prepared, leather hard, flat clay slabs for building constructive forms.
- A range of vessel forms – Pre-thrown objects such as cups, bowls, plates and vases, trimmed and untrimmed, that can also be used as leather hard forms, to cut and be shaped into what ever you may choose. You may also wish throw and mold your own shapes.
- Stencils and templates to add a “guilty pleasure” logo text if so desired .
- A kiln service. We will fire your work and glaze the finished article with a clear transparent finish.
Can beginners join this workshop?
Yes. Jonathan Clark is an experienced and very capable teacher, ready to assist people at all levels and abilities. After a brief sharing Jonathan will demonstrate two techniques and he will support everyone individually;
- (Demo 1) Constructing with Leather-Hard Slab .
- (Demo 2) How to neatly apply an Engobe to your form and then use a Sgraffito technique for added details.
