Advanced Hand Building Pottery Course – Coiled Textured Serving Bowls
This four-week advanced hand building pottery course focuses on the creation of large, coiled ceramic serving bowls with richly textured surfaces. Designed for experienced clay workers, the course explores advanced coil construction techniques, surface development, and structural control required for larger functional forms.
The course guides participants through:
Advanced coil building techniques for large ceramic forms
Structural control and balance in expanding bowl shapes
Creating consistent wall thickness and stable forms
Surface texturing and decorative finishing techniques
Refining joins and smoothing coil construction
Controlled drying methods for large-scale ceramics
Glazing techniques to enhance texture and form
Final finishing and presentation of functional ceramics
Prerequisites
Strong intermediate hand building experience, including confidence with coil or slab construction and basic surface design techniques.
Course Outcome
A completed set of large coiled textured serving bowls demonstrating advanced construction skills, refined surface design, and functional ceramic craftsmanship suitable for use or display.
Course Outline:
Week 1: Develop advanced design concepts and begin constructing large coiled bowl forms with a focus on structure, balance, and controlled shaping.
Week 2: Continue building and refining bowl forms, ensuring consistent wall thickness and strengthening structure while expanding form and scale.
Week 3: Apply surface textures and decorative detailing while refining shape, smoothing joins, and ensuring structural integrity.
Week 4: Complete bowls through controlled drying, glazing techniques, and final finishing to produce large functional ceramic serving pieces.
Pricing includes all materials and glazing.
