Slab Vase Workshop

Slab building pottery is a versatile and exciting technique that allows you to create unique and intricate pieces. The process involves rolling out even sheets of clay, which are then cut and assembled to form three-dimensional objects. This method offers artists the freedom to experiment with various shapes and designs, resulting in one-of-a-kind pieces.

Slab building pottery will enable you to express your creativity and produce beautiful, functional vases.

What to expect:

• When you arrive you will be provided with slabs of pre-rolled clay

• We’ll spend the first 10 - 15 minutes sketching out the shape of your vase which will be roughly A5 size

• I’ll talk through and demonstrate how to turn your sketch into a template for your vase

• Then, you’ll be free to start cutting out your pieces and assembling your vase

• Once your piece is complete you can then get painting and decorating

• After the class your design will be left for a week to be bisque fired, glazed with a glossy transparent glaze and fired again for one last time

• This process takes between 4 - 6 weeks - you will be emailed when your masterpieces are ready to collect!
