Ceramics for Newbies Term 1, Monday

Be My Keeper Studio continues to indulge students with a great mix of clays, techniques and glazes, you will find it's one of the more generous courses.

 Enjoy 4 weeks of learning the basics in a fully equipped studio, classes include learning techniques such as hand building including pinch pots, coil vessels, sculpture, slab, and surface decoration. Participants can explore a range of methods or focus on their own particular interests, classes are blended to capitalise on both functional and non-functional projects. 

Get connected with like-minded creatives, and fall in love with clay in a fun and informal setting!

Please note firing for bisque and glaze is charged at $12 per kg.

Facilitator Kim Drew

Wk 1 -  Pinch Pots

Wk 2 -  Coil Pots

Wk 3 - Slab platters

Wk 4 -  Glazing

PLEASE NOTE there is a 2-week gap between weeks 3 & and 4 to ensure all work dries slowly, fired and ready to be glazed.

If you are a return student your projects will be an extension of what you learn in the the first 4 weeks.  You will be offered a choice of projects to work to guided by both the facilitator and your own research using drawing and journal work.   

PLEASE BOOK WISELY!  I will be unable to refund any cancellations, you can transfer your ticket to a friend.  To avoid disappointment please do not ask for a refund, please understand that a facilitator is being paid with other outgoings and numbers (your booked spot) is required to keep my little business afloat.  

Thanks for understanding
