Tekst Pansy:

Welcome to the Ceramic Lamp Workshop! Let’s make a fully functional, lumpy ceramic lamp that will brighten up any spot in your home. We’ll be using clay to build, pinch, squeeze, tweak, press, into any kind of creative form that can hold a light bulb!

The workshop is run across two sessions: during the first we’ll explore how to build around the lighting fixture, sketch a variety of shapes, be immersed in inspiration, and then introduce working with clay, tips and techniques for three different ways of working with clay: pinching, rolling coils, and rolling slabs. By the end of the session we’ll have your lumpy lamp ready for firing!

The second session is focused on glazing and finishing the piece so it’s ready for the last round of firing. We’ll learn about using and understanding different kinds of glazes, underglazes, decorating with patterns, illustrations and the firing process.

Session 1: Thursday 20 April | 6.00 - 8.30pm

Session 2: Thursday 27 April | 6.00 - 7.30pm

What do I need to bring or prepare?

All materials, tools, and snacks are included in the workshop, just bring yourself and if you feel like it, a few images to be inspired by.

Working with clay can get a bit messy, so bring an apron or wear some old clothes.

Your pieces will be ready for collection within two weeks of completing the workshop. We’ll send an email out to you as soon as they’re ready. You can pick it up from pansy (we’d love to see you again!) or have them posted to you.
