'Yes, Chef' Course

Service Description

For the lovers of cooking and baking, this course is designed to inject an extra handmade touch into your cooking routine. We'll be using the slab building technique to create garlic graters, spoon rests and utensil pots with your own personal touch and style. SCHEDULE Session 1: MAKE (November 20th) Learn the foundations of slab building to make your garlic graters, spoon rests and utensil pots, incorporating any personal touches to make them truly your style. Session 2: GLAZE (December 4th) 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.
