Sculptural Ceramics

Tutors: Emilia Radlinska and Vanessa Lim | Wednesdays 10am-4pm | 12 weeks 

This course offers a supportive and inspiring environment for you to explore and develop your creative skills using ceramic processes. You’ll learn a variety of hand-building techniques, including slab construction, coiling, and press moulding – along with decorative approaches using slips, glazes, and textured surfaces to personalise your work. Through demonstrations and individual guidance, you’ll be supported to work at your own pace, whether you’re a beginner or looking to build on existing skills. You’ll also be encouraged to research independently, with references to current exhibitions and ceramic collections that can inform and inspire your practice.

A wide range of high-firing clays and glazes are provided, and the course fee includes basic materials. Please see the materials list below for additional items students are required to bring.

  • Sketchbook / notebook
  • Any pottery tools that you may already own
