HANDBUILD AN EMPTY BOWL

2.5 hour workshop for your corporate or charity event 

Discover your inner artist, and learn about the ancient craft of hand building with clay. The earliest known ceramic piece is a figurine called Venus of Dolní Věstonice. This sculpture was found in the Czech Republic, the ancient pottery statuette is nearly 30,000 years old. Can you imagine your ceramic work being here for that long??

In only two and a half hours you will design, create and build a unique, contemporary bowl or platter that you can use daily in your kitchen, safe for food use or simply hang on the wall as your very own personal art piece or even frame it after, I will advise you on this option also.

With my help and guidance you will learn the fundamental techniques of hand building, sculpting and texturing a slab of clay.
