HANDBUILDING MONDAY: A FEW SPACES LEFT
Book now: https://govanhillbaths.com/what-we-do/ceramics/
Over five consecutive Monday evenings, this class will guide you through the various techniques required to get a ‘handle’ on hand building. Starting with the basic techniques, of pinching, coiling and slabbing, you will gain confidence in working with clay and have scope to try out some of your own ideas. After the four weeks of creating your work, we will fire all work in the kiln before the fifth week. Allowing you to spend the last session decorating your work.
Beginners will be fully supported and directed throughout the course. More experienced participants will be given the room to develop.
You will be tutored by Paula Doherty
