Clay Boxes and Vases Workshop with Jeannie Waterhouse
A fantastic opportunity for you to try your hand at creating a box, vase or geometric shape using leather hard clay slabs.
Welcome to Slab building!
During the two and a half hour workshop you will watch a demonstration of how to slice, measure and manipulate clay to create a geometric form. There will be plenty of resources to copy from. Depending on you skill, you can build a simple box form to a vase or container with a lid.
Adding colour and design
You will be able to add colour, pattern and texture to your work as it progresses. When your work is finished, it will be fired, glazed and fired again. This final process makes your work non-porous and food safe.
Work should be available for collection within 6-8 weeks (from date of the workshop) but you will be contacted by the workshop organiser to advise when the work is out of the kiln and ready for collection.
