The course focuses on the wide field of ceramic surface decoration. You will gain a wide skill set through a series of tutor-led projects. We will create tiles, moulded dishes as well as more complex 3D forms and vessels. We will imprint and carve textured designs, explore printing painting and experiment with a range of mark making techniques using clay slips, oxides and stains. Basic Glazing techniques will also be covered.
