Ceramics-Introduction is an open workshop suitable for participants from any professional background with no experience in ceramics.
This course explores the basics of clay as a creative and functional medium. Students will learn about ceramics through making, encouraging an intuitive engagement with the material.
Learners will gain basic skills in ceramic hand-building and surface decoration whilst exploring a diverse range of art styles and design opportunities. This studio practice will ensure a complete ceramic workshop experience starting from design work, modelling, decoration, underglaze, and/or glazing to the final stage of firing.
