Discover the craft of ceramics with a 10 week beginners course

This 10-week workshop, expertly hosted by Bella, offers a comprehensive introduction to the world of ceramics, ideal for complete beginners. Over the course of this program, participants will embark on a step-by-step journey through the fundamental aspects of ceramic art, starting with the basics and progressively advancing to more complex techniques.

Each session, spanning 2.5 hours, is carefully designed to provide a thorough and engaging introduction to the various facets of ceramic creation.

The initial phase of the workshop focuses on hand building, where participants will learn to shape and mold clay with their hands, laying the groundwork for more intricate work. As the weeks progress, the workshop transitions onto the potter's wheel, a pivotal skill in ceramics. Here, attendees will gain hands-on experience in wheel throwing, learning to create symmetrical and well-formed pieces.

The final stage of the workshop is dedicated to glazing, where participants will explore various glazing techniques to add color and finish to their creations. This process not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the ceramic pieces but also imparts a practical understanding of how to protect and preserve them.

Upon completion of the course, participants will have acquired a solid foundation in ceramic art, equipped with the skills to create their own pieces from scratch. Additionally, they are welcome to join the Clay Club, a community where they can continue their journey with clay, honing their skills and exploring new techniques in a supportive environment.
