Material list
We will provide some materials: clay (Keane’s White Rake) and basic (Chrysanthos) underglaze colours. Works will be bisque fired after Part 1 of the workshop ready for underglazing and over-glaze during Part 2 of the workshop.
This workshop includes a limited number of underglaze colours. If you would like to use specialty glazes and underglazes — you are welcome to do so under Lisa’s direction. They are available at local suppliers and online for purchase, Lisa will help you locate them.
What materials do I need to bring?
- Inspirational reference materials — images or from your garden
- You are also welcome to bring drinks, lunch or snacks. We’ll supply the glasses.
Will my work be fired?
Standard works made as part of your course program will be bisque fired and glaze fired as part of your course fee. Works made outside of the Art Est. studio cannot be fired in our kilns. The works will be ready for pick up 1 — 2 weeks after Part 2 of the workshop.
