4 Day jug-making, thrown stoneware: Jeremy Steward
Now in it’s second year, this course has been extended by popular request in 2009 from 3 days to 4. The course is aimed at more experienced makers to develop their jug-making. Students will be encouraged to experiment with different scale and style of vessel. A strong emphasis will also be placed upon handling and composite throwing. On the third and fourth days of the course, students may wish to experiment with raw-glazing and various methods of slip-decoration. A small selection of the very best pieces which have been slipped and glazed within the duration of the course can later be gas salt-fired. Any unfinished pieces can be taken home or will be biscuit-fired at Wobage for you to collect at a later date. A charge will be made in addition to the course fee for fired pots: £1.00/lb for biscuit and £2.50/lb for gas salt-glaze.
The studio invites a maximum of 8 students for this course. Each participant will enjoy unlimited access to a power wheel for the full duration. These are a selection of different models; Rayefco, Alsager and Shimpo.
The course begins at 10am on the first morning, completing at 4pm on the last day. Tuition hours are otherwise 9am – 5pm. Morning and afternoon refreshments are included in the price of this course along with our home-baked sourdough loaves for lunch. Students will be asked to bring along a small lunchtime savoury dish to share.
