What will be covered in the class?
This course will introduce students to a broad range of techniques and approaches to ceramics. Led by tutor Elizabeth Westray, students will be encouraged to experiment with clay, develop their own designs and explore various ceramic techniques including approaches to glazing and hand building. The more experienced potters will be free to make their own designs. For beginners, the tutor will work with students on handbuilding techniques in the first week, throwing in the second week, and glazing in the third week. All students will be encouraged to work on more detailed projects.

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.  
What will I need to bring?
