Evening classes at Wobage run on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, between 6.45 and 9.15pm, for three blocks per annum. These termly courses, predominantly in thrown ceramics are suitable for beginners, intermediate and advanced makers. Numbers are limited to a maximum of 9 students to ensure sufficient one to one tuition and a power-wheel for each participant. The focus of the classes is with the development of wheel-thrown work, along with other related skills such as clay preparation, turning, handling, slip-decoration and raw-glazing.
On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Jeremy’s students make with stoneware, salt-slips and raw-glaze. Students will be invited to make a selection of approximately a dozen of their best pots which they will wood-fire and salt-glaze. Each term consists of 10 evenings and a wood-firing which takes place on a pre-planned Saturday. The throwing studio is open on the Saturday for student’s to pot, inbetween their kiln stoking shifts.
On Mondays and Wednesdays, Patia’s students make slip-decorated earthenware.
