HOLIDAY
COURSE OUTLINES
Hand-building/wheel classes
incorporate learning techniques from two areas of the pottery sphere. As
the name suggests, hand-building involves learning different techniques
to form clay into objects by hand, eg pinch pots and slab building.
Wheelwork uses the potter's wheel to form the clay, the object being to
pull clay into a cylinder and them form it into a pot.
In wheel only classes (not offered
every holidays) the student
will spend all lessons learning aspects of forming clay on the potter's
wheel. There will be no specific hand-building techniques taught.
'Special theme' courses such as
Unicorns & Dragons (not
offered every holidays) allow students' imaginations to run riot as they
form fantasy creatures based around the course theme. Generally, hand-building techniques are used for this but
some aspects of the wheel may be employed as well.
Parent/child classes are
hand-building/wheel classes where a parent, grandparent or carer can become
a student too and join in the fun.
