Exploring Drawing onto Clay
With Artist/Ceramicist Alison Waters
This is a 6 hour workshop spread over two days, which uses the beautiful Cheshire countryside around our farm as inspiration, we will explore different techniques of drawing onto hand built clay plates.
Day one – 3 hours
You will spend the first hour exploring the country lanes around our farm collecting a variety of natural objects to draw from. On returning to the workshop, you will be led through a series of drawing activities, exploring non-traditional ways of drawing onto paper and looking at how to create exciting marks that can be transferred onto clay.
Day two – 3 hours
Participants will roll out clay slabs and use forms to create a pair of 2 plates. Participants will experiment with tools and slip to re-create drawings onto the clay. Once dry, plates with be fired and glazed in transparent glaze, ready for collection in 2-3 weeks.
