Slab and carved vessels with Eddie Curtis

We are excited to welcome the award winning, talented and inspiring potter Eddie Curtis to host this slab build workshop using his signature techniques to mark and form the clay.

Class time is 10am to 4pm with a short tea break and lunch.

The class is suitable for potters with some experience who would like to expand their handbuilding skills, it is not suitable for total beginners.

Eddies recent inspiration has come from Blast beach in Durham and he will be showing you how he creates his signature carving lines and craggy forms.

He will demonstrate pieces similar to the images shown which will leave you with a series of valuable skill sets to make work that can be self inspired. Using the techniques you will learn, combined together they form a much greater sum of their parts - that is the basis of his teaching, to encourage participants to understand what can be achieved without slavish learning that can so bog down creativity!

during The afternoon you are free to work on your pieces with supervision from Eddie.

We need the studio cleaned and ready to vacate at 4pm

You are welcome to take your pieces home to fire/work on more or we can fire them to stoneware temps in a clear glaze and you can pick up around 4 weeks later.

Please visit Eddies website for more images and info at
