Come along and join me at the Periwinkle & Clay Creative Studio to build & decorate your very own Ceramic Bollington Bear. With my assistance, you'll be provided with some white earthenware clay, tools and inspiration to create your very own bear.During our time together, you'll learn how to:
Build a form using a pinch pot and add a slab-built base & features
Fettling and cleaning up your work
Using decoration techniques such as using slips and underglaze
Decoration techniques such as stencilling, painting and scraffito
The course is split over two Sundays. The first session will be building the form and adding features and decoration. In the second session, you'll come back to fettle and clean up your bears and decorate.
Once complete, they will be bisque-fired and dipped in a clear glaze. They'll be fired a second time and then ready to collect.
No experience in ceramics or working with clay is needed. Children from 8 upwards are welcome but an adult will also have to take part, so it would be two tickets/ two seats.
When & Where
First Session: Sunday 14th July
Second Session: Sunday 21st July
Timing: 10-1 pm. Each session is 3 hours long, so 3 hours in total.
The workshop is held at the Periwinkle & Clay Creative Studio - it's a bright, friendly and welcoming space. A refreshments menu is available for drinks and cake.
