Workshop
This workshop introduces students to the world of ceramics and a range of techniques to create their own sea creature. Throughout the workshop, students will engage in a hands-on approach to learning, allowing them to develop their skills and gain confidence in their abilities.
The pinch-pot process will provide a solid foundation for their creature, while the addition of features inspired by Tangaroa will encourage creative thinking and problem-solving. Students will learn essential ceramic joining techniques, then decorative applications such as smoothing, etching, and colour stains to bring their sea critter to life.
By the end of the workshop, students will have gained a solid understanding of ceramic techniques and the creative process, as well as having created their own unique sea critter.
Allow three weeks for firing and glazing.
