Pottery: Press Moulds & Slab Building
Led by Helen D Evans
This 4 week course is for people with all abilities, whether you want to come and give pottery a try or if you have some experience of working with clay.
If you are new to clay then Helen will guide you through exploring two different techniques, whilst more experienced learners may want to use the time to work on their own projects based on using Press Moulds and Slab Building.
You will spend three weeks exploring Press Moulds and incorporating Slab Building into your process. The final week will be spent glazing. This session will be slightly longer to give you time to decorate your pieces (3hrs).
Your work will then be fired off-site and then ready to collect from Norden Farm approximately 4-6 weeks later.
The price includes: clay, use of tools, underglazes, a selection glazes and 2x firing of your work.

Hundred Watt Club - A Burlesque and Cabaret Spooktacular Speakeasy!
Back at Norden Farm by popular demand, Hundred Watt Club invites you to peek inside their cabinet of curiosities and celebrate Halloween with an evening of bizarre burlesque, queer cabaret and sublime circus entertainment.
Expect spinetingling striptease, madcap comedy, dizzying circus stunts and all manner of cabaret tomfoolery. You’ll never be the same after a glimpse into this topsy turvy world. Expect the unexpected, but come prepared for an unforgettable night of tongue in cheek, glamourous, grown-up fun!
Plus - dress up in your most glamorous vintage or Halloween inspired outfit to be in with a chance of winning a bottle of Prosecco!
Hundred Watt Club are proud to be one of the longest running burlesque revues in the UK.
The lowdown: not for the fainthearted, this show employs and embraces adult themes, strong language and partial nudity with gusto. Glamorous, vintage attire is encouraged (we love it when you dress up!) but not enforced; wear what you’re comfy in.
‘Old school mischief and timeless raunchiness collide at the Hundred Watt Club. Hats – and corsets – off to Lena Mae for an excellent night of entertainment’ Sussex Express
‘Harking back to the gin drenched halcyon days of a grimy Berlin nightclub in the 1930s, Hundred Watt Club sparkles, fizzles and shines brightly on a dark night’ Fringereview.co.uk
‘Righteous, radical…an absolute riot!’ Mardigrasmag.co.uk
Over 18s only.
