New to the 2011 course programme, this jar-making workshop will run in alternate years with Jeremy’s jug-making course. Our 2013 Jar course welcomes demonstration and tutorial by Stephen Parry from Norfolk. It will cover numerous aspects of jar and lid production, a subject so diverse so as to offer an abundance of creative avenue and skill challenges for participants. Steve will also demonstrate techniques in large ware throwing.

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 £2.80/lb for gas salt-glaze.

The studio invites a maximum of 10 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 9.30am – 4.30pm. The studio is freely available for students to work outside of these hours, early or late. A fabulous home-made vegetarian lunch along with morning and afternoon refreshments are included in the price of this course.
