Pottery Workshops
David Jones from Walsall Studio
Ceramics is teaching pottery at Tokonoma Bonsai Nursery.
In their first lesson students will
be instructed on the techniques of constructing a slab-built
cascade pot.
A Slab-Built Cascade Pot under construction
Lesson two covers the construction
of a slab-built rectangle.
Lesson three deals with the building
of coiled pots, round, oval or primitive.
Lesson four covers the construction
of a complex slab built rectangle, or a pot of your own design.
All student abilities will be covered
in each lesson.
Full instruction is given throughout
the day, and at the end the student can select a glaze from
the range available. David
will then take the pot back to his workshop, dry it, biscuit
fire it, apply the glaze, and then glaze fire it to Stoneware
temperatures (1260 degrees C), resulting in a pot that is
harder than granite.
