Everything Slipware
31st July-1st-2nd-3nd August
A four day course. We will be exploring everything slipware. Colourful five day introduction to making and decorating. Students will be throwing, hand building and tile making, and decorating with coloured clay slips. We'll explore contemporary and historic slipware pottery, and will be using traditional methods of decorating and well as exploring contemporary methods of resist, paper cutouts and expressive brushwork.
In my pottery workshop I only have 5 students per course. Each will have access to a electric or kick wheel, with plenty of storage racks for your pots, dustbins of slips and glazes for you to use.
Teaching ends at 5 p.m you are welcome to continue working in the pottery. We often gather for wine and nibbles at the end of the day. On one of the evenings, I will get my Woodfired bread oven hot and we’ll cook pizzas for all to share.
Here at Golden Valley Cottage, we firmly believe that pots and food go hand in hand. The summer pottery courses have a growing reputation for colourful homemade vegetarian lunches using vegetables and flowers from the garden. Mariettes home baked biscuits and cakes made with eggs from our own hens and ducks, are served at regular intervals with coffee and tea. All presented in and on our collection of studio pottery.
