Join the lovely Cumbria-based ceramicist Cath Ball for an introduction into the world of hand building with Porcelain!
Make your own porcelain Vase, in this workshop with Cumbria-based ceramicist Cath Ball. You will produce artwork that’s not just beautiful but practical – something that you’ll love putting to good use around the home.
If you’ve ever been put off trying ceramics by the need to master a pottery wheel, fear not. This is a relaxed workshop, in which you’ll use Catherine’s current favourite technique – hand building, using slabs of hand-rolled clay and imprinting techniques. The workshop is aimed at complete beginners, but more experienced potters wanting to try a new technique are welcome too, and will enjoy learning something new.
To build your vase you will use porcelain clay, which has a fine texture and holds the texture of imprinted fabric, creating a finish which is intriguing and intricate, yet after glazing and firing will be robust and water-tight. Your vase can be enjoyed for years to come with your own favourite flowers in.
All materials are provided. At the end of the workshop, you’ll choose your glaze, and your work will be taken back to the maker’s home studio in the small village of Thursby, near Carlisle, where it will be expertly glazed and carefully fired, then returned to the makers mill to collect.(there is also an option for work to be posted out to you at an extra cost of £6 if you are not local)
