In this workshop Kevin will guide you through lids, handles and spouts, three essential elements that provide endless possibilities for successful ‘form and function’. Our workshop will offer opportunities to explore these elements through discussion, demonstration and application.

On Saturday we will focus on designing and forming components, followed by trimming and assembly on Sunday. Participants will develop a set of objects that may include items such as teapots, jugs, mugs and lidded pots..

The fee includes the firing and glazing of 1 x teapot and 2 handled forms ie. jug, mug. Kevin will complete the glazing using the Neo studio glazes.

We recommend this workshop for those comfortable with centering 1kg of clay.
