Clay Boxes and Vases Workshop with Jeannie Waterhouse

A fantastic opportunity for you to try your hand at creating a box, vase or geometric shape using leather hard clay slabs.

Welcome to Slab building!

During the two and a half hour workshop you will watch a demonstration of how to slice, measure and manipulate clay to create a geometric form. There will be plenty of resources to copy from. Depending on you skill, you can build a simple box form to a vase or container with a lid.

Adding colour and design

You will be able to add colour, pattern and texture to your work as it progresses. When your work is finished, it will be fired, glazed and fired again. This final process makes your work non-porous and food safe.

Work should be available for collection within 6-8 weeks (from date of the workshop) but you will be contacted by the workshop organiser to advise when the work is out of the kiln and ready for collection.

Please note - this workshop is only suitable for adults 18+

If you have any access, mobility or other health issues which you think could impact your experience of the workshop, do to let us know in advance and we will aim to make reasonable adjustments where possible, to ensure you have a positive experience.

We request resonable notice of at least 2 working days to be able to action any adjustments.

Any information disclosed to Swarthmore will be relayed to the workshop facilitator
