monthly sessions, running in 4-session blocks:
block 1 - slab building
- an introduction to the slab building technique, having a go at 2D & 3D makes.
- making session 1: get started on your own slab building project (templates will be available, plus guidance from me), or follow along as i make a functional slab built object.
- making session 2: continue with your project, or start a new one!
-
glaze your creations, with a range of colours & techniques to choose from.
- your work will be fired in lizzie's kiln after the final session, and will be available for you to collect within 1-2 weeks.
