Spend a creative morning with ceramic artist Helen McComick and learn how to make a beautiful pottery sea urchin inspired by the textures and patterns of the ocean. Helen will guide you through the hand-building process, showing you how to shape, carve and decorate the surface of your piece so it captures the intricate detail of these fascinating creatures. Helen will teach how to apply coloured slips using painting and slip-trailing techniques, as well as use sgraffito to create pattern and decoration.This workshop is suitable for all abilities – no previous pottery experience is needed. All materials and equipment will be provided, but please bring an apron or wear old clothes and trim any long nails before the session.
At the end of the workshop, Helen will take your piece home to glaze and fire in her kiln. Your finished sea urchin will be ready for collection from the Brewhouse approximately 6 weeks later, once it has dried and been fired. We’ll be in touch to let you know when it’s ready.
Please feel free to bring along a packed lunch to enjoy in your lunch break, tea and coffee will be available in the workshop room.
Workshop run 10:15 – 13:00
