Decorate a Bowl This friendly, relaxed, workshop takes place in a peaceful
studio in the Kingsgate Workshops Trust building. This taster type clay session
is a great way to get away from the busy world outside for a few hours. By the
end of this session you will have completed a bowl using the coiling method.
This session can be treated as a one off or something you can repeat. If the
course is booked with a friend or as a group there is a reduction in price.
Please negotiate group reductions via email. When making your bowl you will also
have a finished surface that you can decorate in a variety of ways applying any
design or you can leave it blank or write an inscription onto its surface. A
decorated bowl is an excellent celebratory gift to give to a friend or a
relative. Or you can use it yourself! You will be guided through making a bowl
using the coiling technique by joining, then pinching out ropes of soft clay.
The clay wall is then pared to obtain a satisfying curve, that can be scratch
decorated or slip painted on the same day with your personal design. You will
have guidance each step along the way. When you have made your bowl it will be
glazed for you.. Finished work can be posted or collected. £65 or £105 for plus

A great introduction Get Creative with Clay Beginner or Intermediate Make and
Decorate a Bowl Craft Courses Its' a great experience: Josie is very
knowledgeable, and makes it a pleasurable and rewarding experience. It was laid
back but at the end of the afternoon all of us had produced a wonderful
decorated bowl, in the interesting environment of her studio. Elisabeth -12th

Beginner or Intermediate Make and Decorate a Bowl (Booked online with
Hotcourses) By Hugo - January 2017 I really didn't know what to expect when I
bought this course with my girlfriend, but it was fantastic and we learnt so
much about how to shape clay. It was very relaxing and the time seemed to fly
by! I would highly recommend this course Amazing By Hugo - January 2017 First
time using Hotcourses so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it was really
interesting and fun. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to
relax and make a bowl! A relaxing, creative experience Get Creative with Clay
Beginner or Intermediate Make and Decorate a Bowl By Andrew - January 2017 After
purchasing a course for my girlfriend’s birthday we were not sure what to
expect. What a lovely experience it was and a way to pass a few hours and to
produce something tangible with your own unique stamp on it. Everyone's bowl
ended up completely different and it was great to make pottery, really learning
how clay works and performs. Josie has a relaxed teaching method, encouraging
and informative. Would highly recommend. Andrew & Asha A great experience By
toby - September 2016 We weren't sure what to expect when signing up for this
but it turned out to be the most enjoyable experience with Josie being extremely
helpful and friendly in showing us the coiling technique, would definitely
recommend! Worthwhile creative experience By Lisa - July 2016 Never did I think
that the simple activity of making a bowl could open up such a myriad of
experiences. From getting my hands dirty digging in the clay, to coercing this
medium so it took on a form. For a first experience the clay and Josie’s skilful
but gentle guidance, dictated the road travelled, a useable beautiful, and
personal bowl emerged. And then a colour feast to paint it. Thank you Josie
Thanks so much Josie Get Creative with Clay Beginner or Intermediate Make and
Decorate a Bowl By Aaron - July 2016 I was bought this course as a birthday
present and did not know what to expect as I have never done any ceramics work
before. Safe to say I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, the space was quiet and
Josie was extremely knowledgeable about her subject, guiding us firmly yet also
allowing us creative freedom. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. I
also cheekily made two bowls in the time I was there, which Josie kindly did not
get mad about! Amazing and relaxing experience!!! Get Creative with Clay
Beginner or Intermediate Make and Decorate a Bowl (Booked online with Hot
courses) By Diego - July 2016 It was my partner's and my first time doing
pottery. At first we thought to have only one class to have a new experience but
after taking a one-day course with Josie, we are talking to do that again and
again. It had such a good atmosphere and Josie conducted the course in a
friendly and professional way. She passed us her experience and knowledge making
sure we were having a great time! Best workshop ever! Ceramics: 1-1 Intensive
Throwing Lessons / Beginner /Intermediate By Tyler - April 2016 As a first timer
was fairly nervous and there's only so much research you can do. Josie was
patient, knowledgeable and helpful - I felt very at ease and I learnt A LOT. The
workshop was very informative I was provided with information sheets of all of
the process's I requested and if it wasn't at hand Josie will research for you
to answer all of your questions and provide you with as much help as possible.
Really good price for everything you get as well which is all of your materials
and some of the best teaching I've experienced. Very thorough explanations and
demonstrations with clear instructions, personally I feel its important to have
a 1:1 class as well if you want a more intensive learning experience. For myself
I felt I need to be guided through the process with constant observation to
receive help as you go and then learn from your mistakes much faster. Josie
helped me with my current university project, she is a truly a great potter with
a great passion for passing on the knowledge, I can't thank her enough.
