Ceramic Totems: Fun Forms and Cascading Colours | Three Part Workshop | Lisa Hölzl
In this fun hand-building class you will create and decorate a totem based around a theme of interest to you. Perhaps botanical, magical or even abstract. No experience necessary! With her expertise, Lisa will help you plan and realise your ideas. Each participant will make a 60-80cm high ceramic totem for the house or garden. This is a great series of three workshop sessions introducing basic hand-building and glazing techniques, as well as composition and design. Bring along your sketches and ideas for what you would ike to make, and Lisa will help make this a reality! Beginners should keep their designs simple forms, while more experienced ceramicists who will work faster, can go to town with their own quirky or more complex designs.
