The Craft Revolution

Totally stoked to have the ceramic legend Dylan Bowen here in November. There are only two places left on this properly cool course in a big open studio in the heart of @dartingtonhall But what will you do on this week long adventure? You will be immersed in the embodied energy required to create and decorate work using a range of handbuilding and slip decorating techniques. The emphasis will be on simplicity, on a loose and dynamic approach to earthenware, and on leaving things alone, loosening up and developing through making. The four days will be divided into ‘making’ and ‘decorating’ days. Dylan will introduce simple techniques everyday as starting points for the days work, and the students will have then be able to take these methods and adapt and develop them in their own directions. We will use old and new methods with clay and slip to focus on the making process rather than concentrating on the finished pieces. We will explore different making processes, handbuilding, carving, slicing and cutting the clay. We will use slip trailers, brushes, sgraffitto: and any techniques that are there to be used.
