SLAB BUILDING COMPLEX VESSELS WITH RUTH KING

£260.00

Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th of February  - 11:00 - 17:00

We are thrilled to welcome Ruth King back to Crown Works Pottery for an intermediate-level, one-off workshop focused on slab building, with an emphasis on developing double-skinned vessels. This is a unique opportunity to enhance your skills while creating sculptural ceramic pieces under the expert guidance of a master ceramist.

Trained at Camberwell in the mid-1970s, Ruth King has been handbuilding pots for over forty years. She is a Fellow of the CPA, with work exhibited in public and private collections in the UK and internationally. Ruth’s work involves making pots from soft sheets of clay, assembled to wrap and define space, with surfaces enriched by salt vapours that add texture and colour. 

In this workshop, Ruth will guide you through essential slab-building techniques, focusing on constructing double-skinned vessels. You'll gain insights, tips, and advanced methods to refine your craft and explore new creative possibilities in an encouraging, skill-building environment.

All classes will take place in the pottery at: 11 Crown Works, Temple Street, London, E26QQ

Price includes all materials.

Your pieces will be ready for pickup usually within three weeks of your class, but sometimes longer. Pick up will be arranged via email by Lucy.

We ask that you pick up or arrange for your work to be delivered to you (for an additional fee) within one month of the original pick up email being sent out. If your pieces have not been picked up or sent within this time-frame then we regret that we will have had to dispose the work, as we are so limited on shelf space.

Upon booking a class you will receive a confirmation email. This email will say you will hear from us shortly, this actually means you will hear from us shortly before the course begins, normally a week or so in advance of your course start date. We note this as some classes are now ordered months in advance!

We really hope that you enjoy your workshop with us if you choose to book!.
