Pottery & Ceramic Sculpture – Intermediate

This course has a strong focus on sculptural ceramic art but also covers some functional ceramics as well. You will learn about a range of ceramic sculptural artists, their inspiration and the techniques they use.

This course will cover hand building techniques such as pinch pots, coil pots, slab building and mould making. It will also cover throwing on the potter’s wheel if there is a demand for it. You will learn about and use a range of decorating and glazing techniques. You will have the opportunity to follow set projects inspired by a wide range of ceramic artists and also to develop your own ideas and designs.

This course is suitable for those who would like to improve their skills and develop their work. You don’t need any formal qualifications or experience but need an interest in the subject.

Additional information
You should bring a notebook/sketchbook to each class to record your notes/ideas. You should also bring an apron/overall as clay and glazes can be messy. There is a selection of tools for you to use in the studio, but if you wish to buy your own then your tutor can advise you in the first few weeks of your session.
Clay used will be charged at £3.50 per kilo before firing. Charges will be in multiples of 500gm therefore there will be a minimum charge of 500gm (£1.75).
The college does not fire clay purchased outside of the college; therefore, you should not bring in your own clay.
We make every attempt to purchase clay at the lowest prices for the best quality however, we have no control over these costs and prices will be subject to market changes.
