In this introductory workshop you will discover the joy of working with clay under the expert tuition of experienced potter and ceramicist, Helen Dunkerley. You will make your very own set of unique tiles and several simple vessels. The surfaces will be decorated on the day of the workshop using coloured clay slips, underglazes and a range of techniques including monoprinting.
The ceramic pieces will subsequently go through a bisque firing followed by a glaze firing to 1100 deg.
