Course programme

Course Content:
• This is a practical course in which you will be required to undertake a series of experiments, which will help you to understand the basics of glaze technology and thus help increase your overall knowledge of ceramics.

• Through experimentation, you will learn how to make basic glazes and recognise the differences between different base materials.

• By the end of the course you will have built up group of practical experiments that can be used to enhance your application of glazes.

• There will be a charge for clay to cover the cost of glazes and firings

• We strongly recommend that learners wear non slip, closed footwear in the pottery area as there is often a lot of dust created and the floors may become slippery when wet if there are spillages
Assessment Methods:
This is a leisure course so there is no formal assessment.
You will be taught in a number of ways including talks, group and individual work and practical experiments.
Informal assessment will be on a week by week basis, with the tutor giving individual feedback and recommendations.
