'Hocus Pocus' Course

Service Description

For all those with a witchy side, join us to create talismans, trinkets, jewellery and incense holders. You'll be using the pinch pot technique and adding your own flare to your pieces, so they reflect your style and feel like you. No experience is needed, and complete beginners are very welcome. SCHEDULE Session 1: MAKE (October 23rd) Learn the foundations of pinch potting to make your talismans, trinkets, jewellery and incense holders, incorporating any personal touches to make them truly your style. Session 2: GLAZE (November 6th) Glaze your work and discover how different finishes transform through the firing process. PLEASE NOTE: The sessions in this course are TWO weeks apart, not one. This is to allow the clay to fully dry and make it through one kiln firing before you glaze them in the second session. STUDIO & FORMAT Classes are limited to 10 students, allowing for plenty of individual support in a relaxed studio environment. Each session lasts 3 hours, including clean-up. EXPERIENCE LEVEL Suitable for complete beginners and improvers looking for more time to play with clay. We'll support you to work at your own pace. ATTENDANCE Because this is a short course, unfortunately we’re unable to offer make-up classes or alternative sessions if you miss a week. Please only book if you’re able to attend both dates, as missing a session will affect your ability to complete the course and finish your work. SOLIDARITY PRICING Low Income: £70 Standard: £78 Lend a Hand: £85 (helps subsidise lower-income places) FINISHED WORK Pieces are usually ready to collect around one week after the course ends. WHAT TO WEAR Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting clay on. Clay washes out easily. Bring an apron if you have one - we also have spares available. Participants must be 16 or over.
