What to expect at a workshop
Learn hand building pottery techniques at home with the undivided attention and tuition from Sharron from smountain ceramics.
In each workshop, we will focus on particular hand-building pottery techniques. I will do a step by step demonstration and by the end of the session, you will have made your own ceramic wares and found a sense of mindfulness and selfcare.
Please note: Your piece will not be complete at the end of the session as it will need to be fired.
In my studio I dry your wares then load them in the kiln for the first and second firing of your piece.
The firing process will take two to three weeks. You can either pick up your final piece or can pay for additional freight to be shipped back to the your home.
The process:
- Book your ticket, bring a friend or so along with you.
- Arrive at the event with an E-ticket ready for checkin. I will have a complimentary glass of wine, bubbles or tea/coffee ready for you.
- We will get stuck into a demonstration and off you go. If we are underglazing on the evening we will do this in the second part of the workshop.
- I’ll sort the rest from their and contact you in a few weeks for pickup or if you would like postage, we can arrange that as well.
