HANDBUILDING
Jane suggests you have a think about what you would like to make. For example: Coiled coffee mug, beaker, bowl, jug, vase etc.
Coming with an idea helps but do not stress, as often when you work with clay ideas morph, change and you move into a state of flow.
GLAZING
Jane will chat about glazing throughout the workshop. As this is a single experience your chosen pieces will need to dry, be trimmed, bisque and then finally glazed.
All of the pieces you choose to keep may be decorated on the day (weather depending), to which Jane will finish with a clear glaze.
