Workshop description:

For this booking we are welcoming children to join us and begin creating their own Ceramic Stack Totem during the Quarry Arts Centre’s open studio weekend!

Tutor Jennie Marie has worked with clay as a successful pottery artist for over 10 years. With qualifications & experience teaching youth and mental health, Jennie Marie has taught beginners pottery for over 6 years.

Over two workshops (set two weeks apart), Jennie Marie will encourage each individual to develop hand-building and glazing application skills and bring their imaginative ideas together by teaching the principles of clay to create a beautiful Ceramic Stack Totem that can stand out in the garden.

First workshop Saturday 23 November: Clay hand-building 

Using raw slab clay, you will be taught how to design and sculpt round 3D and plate pieces, which will make up your vertical stack ( with steel rod ) totem.

Second workshop Saturday 7 December: Glazing

With your bisque fired clay ceramic pieces, you will paint them with brushable coloured glazes to be high-fired in the kiln.

All clay, glazes, and firings are included in the cost of the classes.

Tools required will be provided.

Please bring:

• Suitable clothing and footwear, apron

• Drink bottle, snacks, a packed morning tea

Other things to know:

Parents/guardians/care-givers need to register kids on arrival and provide a designated pick-up person on the provided roster. Please contact us ahead of the workshop to advise us of any important considerations (e.g. medical, allergies, special learning, behavioural matters, custodial) and we will do our best to support.

Participants will be encouraged to clean their tools and working area before departure. All cleaning tools will be supplied.

Workshops are held at the Quarry Arts Centre operated by the Northland Craft Trust, a registered not-for-profit charitable trust.
