Cost. £20 per child.Date and time. The session is on Wednesday 9 October 2024 from 10 am till 12 noon.
Location of session. The session will take place at the Dundee Ceramic Workshop studios, studio 216, Meadow Mill, West Henderson’s Wynd, Dundee, DD1 5 BY. This is just across the road from the Verdant works entrance. You will be met at the Meadow Mill door and a parking permit offered if required.
Aim of the session. To offer primary school age children the joy of playing with clay by making and painting Halloween theme decorations which will be glazed and kiln fired. The children will make the decorations, such as pumpkin, cobweb and ghost shapes, themselves by rolling out stoneware clay and using cutters to shape them. They will then paint their own pieces which will subsequently be finished by firing in the kiln.
There will be at least 2 Dundee Ceramic Workshop volunteers/members for the class of 6 children. All children must have a parent/guardian present throughout the class. It starts with a short discussion on health and safety issues, and about the uses of clay. The class leader demonstrates rolling the clay flat then using cutters to make the decorative pieces. Children then roll their own clay and use the cutters to shape their pieces.
Class break on level 4 of Meadow Mill with juice and snack for children and coffee/ tea and cake for adults.
Class leader demonstrates use of underglaze and painting, and using modelling tools to inscribe names on the back of each piece.
Children use underglaze to decorate the front of their pieces as they wish, and modelling tools to write their names on the back.
The decorative pieces will thereafter be bisque fired, a translucent glaze applied by the class leaders, and they will then be glaze fired.
Participants will be notified by email when the decorations are ready for collection, which will be by Saturday 27 October in time for Halloween.
