Hand Building Course - Beyond the Basics

Push the boundaries of what you can achieve by creating with clay, glaze, and firing.



8 x 2.5 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests       $625 (Afterpay available)

Join our Intermediate hand-building course - beyond the basics. With your experienced tutor Jack Latti, you will delve deeper into the world of ceramics. He will guide you through many different approaches to making, testing materials, and developing your own style of making.
In this eight-week course, the first 4 weeks will focus on skill development and testing materials. You will be guided through small clay-making exercises which will help tighten your skills but also give the opportunity for you to open your mind to new ideas for you to investigate.
For the remaining 4 weeks of the 8-week course, students will work on outcome-based making. This means that each student will decide what object they would like to make and which of the making techniques, clay bodies, and glaze/firing finishes will suit the piece. The results from the first 4 weeks will inform how each student decides to approach this. Jack will help extract and execute the ideas that each student dreams up.
In this course, you can make anything from tableware to sculpture. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve by building on the basic skills that you already have. With a variety of clay bodies, glaze materials, and firing methods available, you'll feel inspired to unleash your creativity and see your ideas come to life.
By the end of the course, you'll have honed your skill set and also have a collection of original ceramics that reflect you as a maker.
*Firing is an additional cost as per The Kiln Room pricing
