Ceramic Lessons I have recently taken part in ceramic lessons with Wendy Calder. We were taught hand building techniques with slipware surface decoration.
Our initial lessons started with rolling out clay slab and forming them around a variety of shapes depending on what we wanted to achieve. We then hand crafted handles and spouts, with Wendy showing us how to finally assemble all the parts together.
Once the ceramics had become leather hard then we were able to move onto decorating. We were able to explore a selection of different techniques such as sgraffito, stencils and adding texture.
