T1/25 Pottery Sculpture Eve Class - Thursday

This evening class is aimed at all levels with a particular interest in sculpting with clay. You will be guided by an expert tutor with a specialisation in ceramic sculpture. You will learn sculptural specific techniques to implement in your work.

Term 1 Pottery Sculpture Thursday Evening

This course is split into two 4wk blocks. You can choose to sign up for both blocks or just one. Up to you! Block 1 will give you the chance to craft a unique piece that looks good enough to eat and Block 2 will be an equally rewarding experience, especially for those who appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

What to Expect

In the first block (4wks) you'll start by sculpting your own fun clay ice cream, complete with a stand that mirrors the real thing! Our expert instructor will guide you through each step, from shaping the perfect scoop to adding delightful details. 

In the second block (4wks), you will sculpt a New Zealand gecko/skink or tuatara. This allows a further opportunity to learn sculpting techniques while hearing stories about conservation of our precious taonga.

In each block you will have 3wks making and 1wk glazing. Check the dates below and make sure that you can attend most of these before making a booking
