Ocean Texture Bowls

£90.00

Tutor: Rhi Jarman

Date: Saturday 16th May

Time: 10am - 4pm

Join ceramic artist, Rhi Jarman, to create and decorate your own ocean inspired ceramic bowls. 

In this workshop, Rhi will show you how to make a decorative bowl or dish from a clay slab and coils using a slump mould. You will then alter and decorate the form using a variety of texturising methods such as sprig (press) moulds, stamps, modelling and slip work. Rhi will supply a range of her own handmade moulds and stamps of natural forms, such as shells and fossils, for you to incorporate realistic surface textures. There is also the opportunity to add colour using oxides and underglazes, and to choose coloured glass to melt into the rockpool – or bring your own sea glass to add a piece of the ocean!

Your finished piece will be glazed and stoneware fired following the class for you to collect. Please note that the bowls will not be suitable for food, or food safe.

Who it’s for:

The workshop is suitable for complete beginners, or for novice or intermediate potters to expand their hand building and decorating skills, especially those interested in natural textures.

Skills outcomes:

Hand building / slab building, fettling, texturising and decorating in clay.

What you will need:

  • Please bring an apron or wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty!

  • Please remove jewellery and tie long hair back.

  • All materials are included.

  • You may wish to bring your own sketch book and beach combed finds such as shells or sea glass.
