Friday 18th December - Porcelain paper clay - with Deborah Clarke You will explore a different type of clay. Porcelain paper clay has the pure white translucent properties of porcelain with the addition of paper makes it easier to work with and gives it strength and reduces the weight significantly making it the perfect material to use for your Christmas decorations and making necklaces and brooches. The strength given by the paper gives you the opportunity to create much thinner creations, ideal for creating tealight holders. In this one day session you will explore the clay, first creating a tealight holder, learning pinch pot and incising methods. You will be able to make a couple of Christmas decorations or brooches if you do not celebrate Christmas. There will be a break for lunch and you may like to book into the café onsite. In the afternoon there will be a range of coloured engobes for you to paint your creations before they are taken away to be kiln fired. Pre booking only. Additional clay can be purchased on the day. Venue: Walford Mill Booking and your safety Please email creativeclayforall@yahoo.co.uk to reserve your space and for payment details. Now for the safety briefing. This is for your safety and the class will still be run with fun and chatting. On entering the building you must wear a mask and use hand sanitiser. You will be allocated a table and equipment. You will not be able to walk around the room for a chat or swap equipment or share clay with others. Two people living in the same household or a carer may sit at the same table. Following government guidelines I will not be taking group bookings of more than 6. If you are friends booking please let me know so I can sit you socially distanced at two tables next to each other. If you are accompanying someone with dementia please let me know as I can get you seated first calmly before everyone else comes in. This is also a wheelchair friendly venue. Everyone will need to leave the class on time so I can clean the venue. If you feel unwell or have developed symptoms please call me and DO NOT turn up. Don’t worry, you will not miss out. I will package a takeaway of the session and deliver to you. You can have your own tutorial by zoom. I can still collect and fire your work. |
