Course programme 2010
We are now making final clarifications of dates and content for the programme of courses for next year. The 3-day beginners course will run in July rather than June. Jeremy’s Jug-making, also in July, will run for four rather than the 3 days this year. We are making some changes to the 7-day handbuilding/throwing and salt-glaze course for 2010. There will instead be a shorter making workshop aimed at more experienced potters with Nigel Lambert running the handbuilding studio. This will run in the first half of August. Jeremy will then run a 5 day firing course in September. Priority of place for this, a maximum of 6 students, will be offered to participants on previous courses during the Summer, enabling them to pack and wood-fire their own pots. This course will include tutorial in basic slip and glaze chemistry, delving more deeply into specifics of raw-glazing and salt-firing. Many will be pleased to hear that Patia will be tutoring a follow-on to her successful new course of this year, ‘Slip-decorated earthenware’. We anticipate that all details and dates will be live on the site for the end of November.
