About this course

Over 6 weeks we’ll be creating small bud vases, these can take various shapes and include any number of designs. You'll be supplied with templates, but also encouraged to create your own original designs.

You’ll be using various hand-building techniques such as slab rolling, coiling and pinching, as well as how to use moulds to create forms. We’ll be decorating with materials, carving & stamps to create pattern, followed by underglaze and glaze methods to decorate and disrupt.
