This course is open to students of all skill levels. There will be an introduction to all of the basic hand building techniques as well as the chance to try throwing. Those with more experience will be offered help and advice as they pursue their own projects. Short demonstrations will be given on particular techniques as questions arise and should prove useful to students of all abilities.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course you will have been given the opportunity to:
· Investigate various making techniques with clay, both hand building and throwing.
· Develop an understanding of the possibilities and limitations of the medium, firing types, decoration and glazing.
