This six-week course is designed to set you up with a solid foundation in the art practice of ceramic sculpture. From techniques for small sculpture, medium sculpture, underglazing, and clear glazing, to ceramic theory and basic kiln firing knowledge.
Ceramic sculpture artist Aoife Billings will teach you every step and process she uses to make her own ceramic sculptures.
After a series of lessons to teach you the foundations of ceramic sculpture and ceramic theory, the course will be tailored to your needs to create the artworks you want to make with one on one technique demonstrations.
It is a relaxed, friendly, LGBTQI+ safe class. All ceramic skill levels welcome.
As always with Aoife's workshops, there's never pressure for perfectionism, we will prioritise process, learning, play and community.
All materials and firing costs are included in the price.
Class week by week:
Week 1: Ceramic theory, techniques for small sculpture
Week 2: Apply sculpting techniques, play with ideas to create a series of creatures/figures/sculptures
Week 3: Extended ceramic theory, sculpture design process and techniques for medium sculpture
Week 4: Participants continue creating sculptures they would like to make with more specific techniques taught by Aoife, depending on what is needed
Week 5: Glaze and Underglaze theory, painting sculptures
Week 6: Underglazing + clear glazing, tour of the kiln room for some basic kiln firing theory
Covid Safety:
Let Aoife know if you have covid, been in contact with someone who has covid, or you have symptoms; Aoife will reschedule your ticket for a date in the future.
