Glazing and Decorating Workshop Half Day (Weekend)

Service Description

You may wish to take the pots you have made at a beginners workshop through the whole process yourself, or you may be an experienced potter wishing to learn in more details about the glazing process. This is Lorraine's area of speciality after working for many years in this technical field in Stoke. She will take you through the many and various processes in as much detail as appropriate to you. This can include formulation, testing, and application of glaze, underglaze, inglaze, engobes, stains, and oxides, including techniques such as dipping, trailing, sponge, stencil and brushing. This course can be taken by students who have already attended a day course and wish to decorate and glaze their own work and also professionally made tiles provided. New students can bring up to 6 of their own bisque pots returning students will have their pieces that they made on their naking day a d in addition, provided with a number of tiles to practice the various techniques before setting to work on their own pots. Pieces are subsequently glaze fired by the potter for students to collect later. These courses are not run as frequently as making days, but dates can be arranged well ahead, so just get in touch.
