Sculptural Ceramics

An opportunity to work with clay in a non-functional, sculptural way.

This course aims to introduce both beginners and intermediate students to the wonders of clay, and gives you a chance to explore a range of hand-building techniques: Coiling, slabbing, hand-building with hollowing and press-moulding techniques will be used alongside decorative finishes such as oxides and slips.

You will develop your own project - figurative, abstract or conceptual – based on your interests.Beginning with a presentation about the history of clay as a sculpture material, processes will be demonstrated week by week.

Your tutor will support you fully throughout the course in both group sessions and one-to-one support.
