Pottery Summer School

About the Class

Join us for a transformative experience at my idyllic countryside studio in Hertfordshire. My Mindfulness Figurative Sculpture Workshop combines the art of clay with the benefits of mindfulness, perfect for all skill levels. — My taster course gives you the chance to create a human head in clay. The finished results can be left for firing and collection at a later date, to amaze your friends. No experience is needed. This could be the start of your  creative journey  through the wonderful world of clay and clay sculpture. This three-session course on Wednesday mornings combines the art of clay with the benefits of mindfulness. You will be introduced to different clays and gain an understanding of their qualities. You will move through a series of guided exercises that build both your sensitivity to clay and inform your decisions when working at different scales. These exercises will also provide the resource inspiration to develop into substantial sculptures of the figure and of the head. We provide everything you need and you will be able to decorate your work with a huge array of slips, underglazes, oxides and glazes, all you need to bring is enthusiasm!
