Description

Regular classes at Wobage run on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, 6.45 – 9.15pm, and also on Tuesday afternoons between 2.15 and 4.45pm, for two 10 week blocks per annum. These Spring and Autumn term courses, predominantly in wheel-thrown ceramics are suitable for makers of all levels of ability. Numbers are limited to a maximum of 9 students to ensure sufficient one to one tuition and a power-wheel for each participant. The focus of the classes is with the development of thrown work, along with other related skills such as clay preparation, turning, handling, slip-decoration and raw-glazing. Patia’s earthenware courses often also include some slab/mould pot-making.

On Tuesdays, Jeremy’s students make with stoneware, salt-slips and raw-glaze.  Students will be invited to make a selection of approximately a dozen of their best pots which they will wood-fire and salt-glaze. Each term consists of 9 or 10 evenings or afternoons, and a wood-firing which takes place on a pre-planned Saturday.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, Patia’s students make slip-decorated earthenware.

Reservations for each term are made with a deposit, the remaining balance is payable on the first class of term. A charge will be made in addition to the course fee to cover the cost of fired pots. For wood-salt fired pots (Tuesday students) this is £5/lb. Once you have joined a course, students are offered priority of place for the following term should they wish to continue.
