A textured Porcelain Applique Mug – – with Cath Ball of Stitched Ceramics

Textured Porcelain pieces ~ Cath Ball of 'Stiiched Ceramics'

AM workshop Porcelain Patchwork Mug 10.30am -12.30pm

+/or PM workshop Porcelain textured Vase 1.30pm - 3.30pm

Choose either the morning or afternoon sessions depending on the piece you wish to make. Bring a packed lunch to enjoy in the garden if you choose to take both classes. A Raku pottery class is taking place on the same day .. AM and PM also.

We are delighted to welcome talented Cumbrian artist, Cath from Stitched Ceramics, offering these two lovely short courses over one day.

You will be using hand building techniques to make your very own beautiful Mug, or vase, using gleaming white porcelain clay. Once rolled out using special 'guides', Cath will show you how to add special textures to the surface of the clay using a collection of laces and fabric. If you have any of your own textured fabrics/lace, that you'd like to include, please bring them along.

We hope you'll love using your special textured Porcelain pieces for many years to come. They are also safe for you to use in the oven or dishwasher.

10.30am-12.30pm or 1.30pm-3.30pm

• IMPORTANT NOTE : As fans of 'Pottery Throwdown' know well - putting anything into the hands of the 'kiln gods' is a risk. They're an unpredictable lot, and sometimes things go wrong and carefully sculpted pieces can be damaged with small cracks appearing during the firing process. Or badly wrong even - very occasionally pieces may even explode! If breakages occur, repairs will of course be attempted. Although rare, students should understand this is 'part and parcel' of working with Ceramics and kilns, and there is no guarantee their workshop piece will turn out perfect or in tact.
• ITS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW CATH'S INSTRUCTIONS DURING THE PROCESS AND DO NOT IMPRINT TEXTURES TOO DEEPLY
