Nature in ceramics

About the event

Using the slab technique, you will make a plate using clay. You will apply your design using coloured slips and a variety of surface decoration techniques including sgraffito, stencilling and impressing. All decorated ware will be bisque fired and glazed with a transparent glaze. This workshop is suitable for all abilities. Louise will support everyone to tap into their creative juices and produce their own nature-inspired plate for use at home.

Louise has taught young people and adults since 2001 within schools, colleges, and the local community. She has a ceramics studio in Elmswell where she practices her figure-based artwork and delivers ceramics workshops to the public.

All ceramic outcomes will be delivered back to the venue (within 2 weeks) for participants to collect. A postal service can be organised by prior arrangement if you are happy to cover the full cost of the postage.
