The winter workshops in January went well, and I’m now into the Spring workshop series which finishes at the end of March.
To give you a flavour of my workshops, I’ll give you an outline of the winter series, though each series of workshops concentrates on different processes in ceramics.
Winter workshops
So… in January, five of us met in my studio in Ouseburn and made porcelain jewellery over three Saturday mornings.
The cost was £55 for the total 6 hours, but participants said that, when you think the price included the porcelain clay, colours, jump rings & brooch backs and firings of finished pieces, that it wasn’t too bad a cost! (The workshops were designed both for people who have no previous knowledge of working with clay and those with some).
By the finish of the sessions, some participants took away up to a dozen pieces including their own-made rings, pendants, brooches and badges.
Just to give you an idea of what went on.
Stage I was working with clay. Wedging clay / Cutting clay / Joining clay / Making impressions.
Stage II was working with biscuit-fired work (made in previous week). Sanding, Painting on colour / Drawing and writing on fired clay.
Stage III was polishing, adding jump rings, gluing on brooch/ badge backs.
If you, or a group, would like a workshop, just contact me. I can comfortably accommodate about six in my studio, but one-to-one is possible too.
There’s limited parking in the street in front of the studios, and a lot of parking spaces behind the studios.
It would be great to see you here… If you have any questions, either telephone or text me on 07961 178 468, or email: contact@helenaseget.com.
