A SUMMARY
This listing is for a block of adult sessions on Monday evening from January to March. Students will be supported to improve their skills in clay modelling, hand building and potter's wheel techniques. As well as decorating with slips and glazing. We have a big table to do hand building and 4 potter's wheels. Students can bring their own ideas or a project will be given by the teacher. We will have 12 sessions in total starting from the 16th of September and finishing on the 9th of December. A catch up lesson will be offered on the 16th of December. Half term break on the 28th of October. The price is for the teaching and use of the studio during the lesson times. Firing is charged separately depending on the amount of work glazed and fired. Cost is £1 per 100 grams of weight once your pot is finished and ready to go in the kiln. Please bring an apron and a hand towel.
About your mentor
Ximena Heasman Ceramics
Passionate about ceramics and teaching
I like sharing my passion for clay with children and adults. I strongly believe in the healing and therapeutic power of clay. I am the Pottery teacher at Michael Hall Steiner School, where these lessons will take place. I also hold some classes in my studio where I also develop my own designs and creations. I love seeing the smiles and the motivation when people leave the studio after a clay session. Clay makes people happier.
