By Hand —— is a grounded and intentional four week course, in which we invite you to discover the ancient rhythms of pinch, coil, and slab to create a your own tableware set.
Building pottery by hand is an ancient, connected, and beautiful process and in this series, we look at how earth was first shaped to create vessels for fire, cooking, storage, and ritual. And today, how we can still sense the profound connection between maker and object that the slow, hands-on shaping of clay offers.
How We’ll Work Together
You will be working in a warm, deeply supportive environment with like-minded people and we keep our classes small, so that you receive as much guidance as you need.
Over four weeks you will create a beautiful Oribe-inspired tableware set; we suggest (although you are welcome to develop your own projects):
Two bowls
Two plates
Two cups
Workshop Notes
Each session is 2.5 hours – but we’ll allow for ten minutes at the end to organise your work and clean down your workstation.
This series is aimed and and suitable for complete beginners, however if you have a little more experience, we’ll support you to work at your level.
You’ll keep up to six of your best pieces to be glazed and put forward for the final firing. Additional pieces can be glazed/fired for a nominal fee (to cover glazing materials and firings costs) however we do encourage students to be critical in order to respect the earth. Your final pieces will be ready to collect within a couple of weeks of your final session.
