An unusual spout of warm Autumn weather greeted participants in the Plate and Bowl Making Workshop on Thursday afternoon, and its amazing how much impact the weather has on enthusiasm and creativity! (Although, I think these students would have been enthusiastic regardless)
The group was a mixture of mums, therapists, art school teachers and a person who received the workshop as a birthday present using a ClayMotion Gift Certificate.
The workshop explored making different shaped bowls and plates using everyday objects as moulds, and then experimented with different decoration methods using coloured slips, texturing, marbling and sgraffito.
Some great bowl and plates were produced, and everyone had a great time.
ClayMotion workshops are a great way to explore pottery if you don’t have time to enrol in a ten week course, and are run periodically throughout the year.
