Course Description
Pottery Class – Hand Built Pieces
People’s College for Continuing Education and Training
POTTERY CLASS, Introduction (HAND – BUILT)
7-week beginner’s hand-built pottery course with Therese Hackett.
Therese is a ceramic artist based in Dublin, Ireland. She is a graduate of National College of Art and Design Dublin. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Education and Management from Dublin City University.
This course takes place in the People s College on Tuesday from 2.30 – 4.30pm. The class will suit beginners to clay. We will be working with earthenware/stoneware or self-hardening clay.
During the seven-week course, we will explore the basic handmade techniques – thumb pots, coil and slab building. We will also explore decorating techniques using imprints. Each week we will focus on developing and building confidence using these skills. If you have a particular piece you wish to make, bring an image of it to class. As this is a beginner’s class most of the forms made will be used to develop your skills in clay techniques.
The pace of the course is relaxed giving you time to explore the medium of clay.
*Each participant is welcome to take their piece/s home with them on the day (but be advised that the clay will not survive long term in this state) OR you can pay a small additional fee* to get the piece fired in our kilns (this process takes time) approximately 7-10 days.
There will be new projects starting after Christmas for the Spring term.
* Additional €10.00 charge to be paid if you wish your piece to be taken away to the kiln and fired.
The cost of the class includes materials for the class.
Tuesday Afternoon: 2.30pm to 4.30 pm 7 weeks Cost: €160
