This pottery taster course delivered by Lindsey Grieves will introduce you to some of the traditional clay hand building techniques and processes, such as pinching, slab building and sculpting. You will be guided through the whole process of experimenting using raw clay, adding surface texture and carved patterns, colour, and glazes to complete your designs.
The sessions take place on Monday 18th October and Monday 1st November.
Due to the funding we receive, these workshops are for people living in South Tyneside and Sunderland.
These workshops are offered by The Cultural Spring and subsidised by Arts Council England.
Our #CreativeAutumn workshop programme operates on a ‘Pay What You Feel’ model. This is part of our effort to encourage more people to get involved in arts and cultural activities. This means we don’t include a charge on the workshops upfront to ensure that cost isn’t a factor that deters anyone from taking part. This also removes the risk of paying for something that you might not enjoy. It does mean, if you do enjoy it, and can afford to pay more, you can. We want great arts and culture to be for all people, not just those that can afford it.
If you enjoy the workshops and would like to make a payment to support the running costs, this is greatly received. You’ll receive details to do so or you can also make donations at any time through our website.
In order to ensure our online spaces stay safe for everyone involved, we ask you to familiarise yourself with our workshop Code Of Conduce which can be found on our website, alongside a series of FAQs. If your question still hasn’t been answered, please email us on info@theculturalspring.org.uk.
If you have any questions, please contact info@theculturalspring.org.uk.
