<p>This five week course, run by Fiona, will run on Thursday mornings from 10.30 til 1 from 4th of March (original date from 14th jan). Suitable for complete beginners, and those with some prior experience who would like to refresh and develop their skills further.&nbsp;</p>
<p>During the course we will cover different approaches to working creatively with clay. This will include handbuilding, wheel throwing and using press moulds. You will be able to experiment with surface decoration; painting with coloured slips, creating patterns and textures, and glazing. If you've been on a course before you might like to plan some pieces, or perhaps scale up.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Limited class sizes (four places), so lots of hands on support and enough space for everyone. You will be given one to one input while on the wheel.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&pound;185 per person, inclusive of booking fee, use of tools, materials, preparation, and firings.&nbsp;This is a slight increase from last year due to restrictions on numbers and increased overheads.</p>
<p>Cyan Clayworks is a social enterprise and working ceramic studio, run by ceramic makers Fiona and Chris.&nbsp;The studio is spacious, bright and airy, in the bigger complex of Beaverhall Studios.</p>

<p>Cyan Clayworks is a non-profit artist-run studio, offering tuition in ceramics at all levels. This course will be run by both Fiona and Chris, held over 5 Tuesday evenings from 6 - 8.30pm. It is aimed at those who have been on a course previously (this could be a taster class or a longer course, either with us or elsewhere) and would like to build upon what they know already. Perhaps you would like to develop your wheelthrowing skills, or refine your handbuilding, scale your pieces up, learn about monoprinting, or have a particular project you'd like to focus on. It could be an opportunity to experiment in a new technique that you haven't tried before. Each week will include one or two different practical demonstrations, from throwing, coil building, slabbuilding and surface decoration using slips and glazes. These will focus on a more in depth approach than our beginners classes. Once we have an idea of what students want to explore we can include other demonstrations. We will work with each student to help you develop your ideas and enable you to focus on areas you are most interested in. With both of us teaching, and a strictly limited class size, there will be plenty of hands on support. All work is fired for you, and materials, firings etc are included.</p>
