About Ceramic Hand-Building

Sorry, but this event has been and gone!

This is a short course in hand building, suitable for total beginners or intermediate learners. If you are new to working with clay you will learn the basics of how to roll out a slab evenly and use templates to cut and assemble 3-dimensional functional pots. From there you will have the opportunity to develop those skills in projects of your own design supported by Siobhan. You will learn about the application of glazes and firing ceramics to create completed pieces. For those that have previous experience of working with clay, you will be supported in undertaking more challenging hand building skills and are welcome to bring images and ideas of projects you would like to undertake and assisted to achieve professional results. You will be working with earthenware clay and glazes.

Your Tutor:
Siobhan Morton graduated from GSA in 2001 with a BA Hons in Design – Ceramics. After graduating, she worked for the Highland Council as an exhibitions assistant, curating and touring exhibitions around the Highland Council Galleries from Kingussie up to Thurso and Caithness. Returning to Glasgow in 2005 she took a studio in Fireworks in Garnethill. In addition to making her work she has taught children and adult pottery classes as well as community art workshops and studied her teaching qualification at Glasgow University in Secondary Education. She continues to teach and produce her own work in watercolour, printmaking and ceramics. She has exhibited and sold work at the Glasgow and London Art Fairs and as a graduate in the GSA shop.

While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for Ceramic Hand-Building are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment.
