What will be covered in the class?
Join popular ceramicist Andrew Macdermott for this five-week Pottery Sculpture course: providing students with a range of skills and techniques to create ceramic sculptures. You will be guided through techniques such as working with formers and how to hollow your sculpture for firing in the kiln. Students will leave the course with up to two finished and glazed ceramic sculptures.
Once your work is fired, students will be able to collect their work at a later date.
🌍️
In an effort to make our site more environmentally friendly, we will be restricting kiln firings to a maximum of 6kg (raw clay) of work per student per term.
All materials are included.
What will I need to bring?
You may wish to bring a sketchbook to draw designs and make notes. Aprons or coveralls should be worn at all times, along with hair-ties and closed-toe shoes.
Location
Ceramics Studio (Ground floor with raised tables, narrow doorways).
