Ceramics Workshops

In these workshops you will be able to produce functional ceramicware and sculptural forms using the techniques of slipcasting, plastic clay forming, hand throwing and hand building.

You will be able to glaze and decorate these objects using coloured slips and glazes as well as having the opportunity to create ceramic transfers using screen and litho printing processes in the print decoration workshop. There are twenty two kilns in the kiln room to fire the work as well as Raku firings when we operate the Raku kiln outside the building.
