Workshop Number Five
It was a rather chilly start but the sun soon came out and had us outside, clay and moulds drying
There were lots of passersby stopping to chat and find out what we are about and to book on to one of our sessions.
Our afternoon workshop was very welcome in the cool of the coach-house, with some wonderful designs both tiles as well as our pots being produced

Alternative Mark Making
Whilst we have tested mark making with stencils, glaze dipped material and sponging directly on to the pots, we had some a chance outcome on one particular pot which we had not even planned.
Whilst removing the pot from the mould, transfers of fingerprints were left and serendipitously fit with mapping the ‘hands on’ experience of the making process
We will be testing ways of highlighting these further over the next few days. Ā Using mark making tools and tearing into the pots also produced interesting outcomes

All Mapped Out
With the regeneration process well underway, we feel it would be poignantĀ to ‘map’ the area by inviting workshop participants to mark their territory and put themselves on the map as it were.
We are creating stencils of the local area to use as transfers to decorate the pots
Our tests produced interesting results

Tall, Small and Somewhere In Between
As with our test bricks, our colour test pots have emerged out of the kiln
Some of the glazes have come out much darker than we anticipated but some interesting results nonetheless
