What to Expect
Discover the joy of ceramic sculpture in this engaging six-week course designed for both beginners and experienced artists. You will learn a blend of ceramic techniques, theory, and creative practice, enabling you to create unique ceramic projects. The course fosters a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere where creativity can flourish.
Each session begins with a guided lesson to build foundational skills, followed by tailored support from your teacher, Aoife. Over the weeks, you will create and hand-paint between one and six ceramic pieces using coloured underglaze. Aoife will then apply a clear glaze, and your finished works will be ready for collection within a few weeks.
This course is perfect for parents looking to explore a new artistic hobby or deepen their ceramic skills while enjoying a creative community.
