school/community groups: workshop packages

the below packages are suitable for groups of 10 or more, from 8 years to adults. workshops can be tailored to the ages & abilities of each group.

2-part session: £20 per person

session one: participants will be briefly introduced to clay as a material - including a description of how a ball of clay turns into a functional ceramic object. they will then be guided to make their own masterpiece using the pinch method, with examples for inspiration. after the session, their pieces will be dried and then fired in my kiln.
session two: participants will be guided to decorate their bisque fired pieces using a selection of glazes.

after the session, the pieces will have their second & final firing to produce functional ceramics. they will then be delivered to the school/meeting venue for participants to take home.

one-off session: £15 per person

participants will be briefly introduced to clay as a material - including a description of how a ball of clay turns into a functional ceramic object. using basic tools participants will be guided to make a small pinch pot & bring it to life with facial features.

after the session, the pots will have a single glaze colour added to the inside & fired in the kiln. pots will be complete within 2-3 weeks.

themes

my workshops are themed around making face pots as standard, but i would be happy to tailor a workshop to a specific theme or subject; whether that’s tying in curriculum-related themes or a fun idea to unleash your students’ creativity!

other information

as a self employed artist, i have a basic DBS check which can be shared with schools & groups prior to the workshop. i have prior experience of working artistically with CYP within both a school & extra-curricular context. i also have experience of leading creative activities with vulnerable CYP & those with additional needs.

pieces will be available to collect from colchester CO1 approximately 2 weeks after the workshop date. i can deliver pieces for free within 1 mile of my home, or further afield for a mileage charge of 50p/mile.
