About this event
We will explore different kinds of pinch pottery techniques. These can act as a foundation to get you confident enough to make at home! We will start with the basics of form and simple vessels and move on to handles, spouts and lids. The outcome will be beautiful functional pots that you can use at home for food and drinks.
Hannah Lawrence is a local ceramicist who specialises in pinch pottery. Formerly the owner and founder of “folklore” a small but thriving craft shop on the old high street, Falmouth. Her work is inspired by the traditional pottery of Africa, Japan and Egypt and aspires towards the art of wood firing. For now Hannah uses local stoneware clays and wood ash glazes. Teaching is an important part of Hannah’s practice as pinching techniques can be much more accessible than wheel thrown pottery. This results in a quick learning curve for students and satisfying results.
All materials provided. Glazing and firing of your wares is available at an extra cost of £1 per 100g of fired work (approximately £3 per mug).
Please bring a packed lunch.
