Pottery: Sculpting Animals

Come and explore sculpting in clay. You can choose to immortalise a family pet or prefer to choose a favourite creature - the option is yours.

This four 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 give you suggestions and guide you through the process. More experienced learners may want to use the time to work on their own projects too. The intention of this four week course is to explore two hand building techniques for making an animal sculpture, whilst giving you time to finesse your work.

At the end of week three, your work will then be bisque fired off-site, ready for glazing in week 4. It will then re-fired and ready to collect from Norden Farm at a later date.

The price includes clay, use of tools, use of underglazes and 2x firing of your work.

Please bring with you:

• Photos or sketches of your chosen creature
• Sketchbook for ideas
• Pens / Pencils
• A cloth to wipe your hands on
• An apron
• Any clay tools you may have
• A plastic bag to store your work
