Post Beginner Wheel - TUES 6-8:30pm FEB

Service Description

A 10 week 2.5 hour course for students who want to learn how to create more complex pieces on the wheel or improve skills they already have. This term we will be focussing on decorating with oxides, slips, underglaze transfers and underglazes. Aim to create 10-14 bespoke works that you will decorate. Classes taught with the careful, hands-on instruction and advice of a university trained and 18 year experienced teacher. We will aim to create a minimum of 2 of each demonstrated exercise per class but you are most welcome to work at your own pace I love to work with different colour media and surface design and expand your knowledge of these. I encourage my students to experiment and have equipped The EPS with underglazes, slips, oxides and glazes to allow for a wide range of choices for decorating your work. I have been teaching for 20 years and learned many skills along the way that I will share with you to ensure that you succeed in this class and leave with pieces that you are proud of.
