Join ceramic artist, Rhi Jarman, to create and decorate your own ocean inspired ceramic bowl.

In this workshop, Rhi will show you how to make a decorative bowl from a clay slab or coils using a slump mould. You will then alter and decorate the form using a variety of methods such as sprig (press) moulds, stamps, modelling and slip work. Rhi will supply a range of her own handmade moulds and stamps of natural forms, such as shells and fossils, for you to incorporate realistic surface textures. There is also the opportunity to add colour using oxides and underglazes, and to choose coloured glass to melt into the rockpool – or bring your own sea glass to add a piece of the ocean!

Your finished piece will be glazed and stoneware fired following the class for you to collect. Please note that the bowls won’t be suitable for food.
