I will take you through the technique of coiling clay step by step to build your own small bowl or jug. You will learn to prepare the base and make coils of even size and thickness in order to build your own pieces one layer at a time. 

Guided instruction will be given to shape the form correctly by varying the positioning of the coils. You will be able to add abstract decoration to the finished piece with the addition of flecks of a coloured slip of your choice.

All equipment, clay and decorating tools will  be provided.

Each piece that you make will then be dried, bisque fired and then glaze fired by Planet Janet Ceramics before being returned to you, ready to use.
