A mixture of techniques – Modelling, throwing and turning
Learn some modelling techniques and experience the pleasure of working with clay to create a farmyard animal.
You will be working on a small chicken, looking at texture and surface and what it suggests.
Jon will show you how to construct and model small details that will bring your animal alive and you should also have time to make a small head of any animal you like using these techniques (please bring with you some source material for you to refer to).
Alongside your modelling you will be working on the potter's wheel as you develop your skills.
This two-day course provides an excellent opportunity for beginners to experience both throwing and modelling and with the potential to combine these techniques although it will be up to you.
There are a maximum of 8 places available. Basic materials, aprons, towels and lunch will be provided.
For accommodation the closest hotel is only a few minutes drive away by Bet365 Stadium, for further details visit the Holiday Inn Website. Alternatively have a look at Visit Stoke's list of local accommodation.
