Arts Workshop - Ceramic Jewellery Making with Susie Oates

In Part 2 of the course we will be following on from what you learnt in Part 1. The work you have done previously will be fired to bisque ready for you to add a range of fabulous brush-on colours which you can learn to layer and combine for different effects. During the glazing session there will also be a range of sample brooch backs, pendant cords and ring backs available to order for you to finish your piece at home. Both pottery courses suitable for beginners. All materials will be provided. Please note additional firing charges apply for all stoneware firings (see below). All work will be packed, named and delivered to a collection point with the AFH team 4-6 weeks after the end of the second part of these courses in October – perfect timing for Christmas gifts. What to Expect Expect a friendly relaxed introduction to working with clay and the opportunity to develop ideas of your own in the medium of clay with expert tuition and guidance. Your work will be fired to bisque ready for you to add a range of fabulous brush on colours which you can also layer and combine for effect on the second day of this #2-part workshop. Immerse yourself in both the taster session and the jewellery workshop for two full days of creativity with clay. What to Bring Wear clothes you do not mind getting messy and bring an apron.

You may also wish to bring sketches representing your ideas and/or textured items eg leaves, lace or small objects with a raised surface to imprint into your clay.
