About the course

This course will give you the opportunity to develop your own personal practice and gain experience by playing with and testing materials and processes that are involved in making with clay. Your tutor Gina Baum will give demonstrations and one-to-one guidance, allowing you to work at your own pace, using the processes you enjoy the most. She will support the development and planning of projects, how to use sketchbooks and application of inspirations and experimental outcomes to realise ideas. You will be encouraged to research Ceramics that surround you, both in everyday domestic use and decorative contemporary sculpture to help explore the use of textures and surface finishes within your own designs. Throughout the course there will be opportunities for short group discussions on historic and contemporary ceramic artists, display and presentation of work and aesthetic choices etc to broaden knowledge and explore new ideas and techniques.
