Students can build on existing knowledge by working individually with the tutor at a more advanced level. Some of the skills covered include hand-building techniques, throwing on the wheel, glaze mixing and application as well as some firing techniques.
The Art School Ceramic Studio is well equipped and provides a safe and sociable working environment. Tools are provided but if you have any clay tools feel free to bring them along. Wear old clothes, overalls or an apron and covered footwear. You may also wish to bring an old towel that can get dirty.
Please note: you will need to bring $45 cash for your materials fee to the first class.
Ceramics classes are taught by ceramic artist, Michael Tannock.
