This 3-day Summer School is designed for hand builders of all abilities,

Whether you work regularly in clay, are a complete novice or fancy refreshing some lapsed skills this is the workshop for you. Small group sizes ensure individual advice and guidance to pursue a project or idea over a sustained period of 3 days in the studio.

You might come with a project in mind, have the desire to use the time to produce something large or take the opportunity to explore clay using our excellent resources, equipment & studio space. There will be no prescribed outcome to the workshop but if you don’t have a project in mind there will be plenty of suggestions, demonstrations and support as required.

Please note that this course does not cover throwing on the Potter's Wheel.

MEET YOUR TUTOR

Abi makes a range of hand built domestic ware in terracotta adding coloured slip for pattern, decoration and colour. Production is in small batches and although all my work shares characteristics, no two pieces are exactly the same as the very nature of hand building ensures this! The pieces are designed to be used everyday and are intended to be humorous & provoke a smile.

Her work is stocked by several galleries throughout the UK, she regularly attends Craft Fairs & Festivals as well as being invited to submit work for specific exhibitions. She is a qualified and experienced teacher, having taught Art & Design at Secondary Schools for 15 years. Abi really enjoys teaching Ceramics and passing on her knowledge, skills & enthusiasm for making in clay to Children & Adults alike.
