7 Day hand-building/salt-glaze: Nigel Lambert
This course invites a larger number of students, split into two groups and separate making workshops for hand-building or throwing. Decoration will form an important part of the course, the groups joining together to explore a variety of techniques including slip-resist, finger-wiping, simple brushwork, pouring and print-making onto pots. Pots made at the front end of the week will be decorated, raw-glazed and fast-dried in preparation for wadding up, then for loading and gas salt-firing on Friday. During firing and then kiln cooling students will have time to explore larger and more complex making.
As well as lunch, the price for this course includes supper on Monday 4th, also wood-fired pizza on the firing evening, Friday 8th. Course participants construct and bake their own pizza. The kiln will be drawn on Sunday and the resulting pots ground and cleaned up will be discussed over a farewell Sunday lunch.
