Art
A relaxed, informal class, where you can spend time making and glazing your own sgraffito bird. This class is suitable for beginners as well as anyone who has attended a previous workshop. I am a qualified teacher and the class takes place at my studio at Earsham Hall, near Bungay. In this workshop, you will make a bird sculpture using slab building, which you will then decorate using underglaze and use the sgraffito technique to add decoration. Sgraffito involves scratching and carving off the underglaze to reveal the white clay underneath. Your bird can be designed to sit in different positions or you can make it into a hanging decoration. I will then fire your bird, give it a final transparent glaze when it will be fired for a final time. All equipment and materials are supplied and you will be able to make, glaze and take home (in a couple of weeks after firing) a unique piece of pottery that you have made yourself. Pottery is fantastic for relaxation, mindfulness and wellbeing as well as being an incredibly rewarding hobby. Included: All materials, including clay and underglaze. Firing and a final clear glaze. All equipment.
