Pottery Day - Christmas Special
Who can join this course
This KAE Studio course is designed for those attending purely for leisure purposes.
It is also aimed at those who have reached their permissible limit on our Tailored Learning progression Creative provision and do not want to move on to the range of Vocational or Accredited courses offered. A Pottery one day course to explore your creativity to produce ceramics forms.
The course introduces some basic techniques and processes of clay construction, including hand building (coiling, slabbing) and surface decoration. Your tutors will have examples of items that can be constucted within the session. The items will then be glazed and you will be contacted so they can be collected. Please note the glaze process and firing can take up to two weeks.
Please note, clay is paid for by the wet weight. All items are charged prior to collection. Only clay supplied by Kent Adult Education is allowed in our potteries.
