Porcelain is the queen of clays. When thin, it can be nearly translucent. Thicker, it has a fine and very hard surface that is different than any other clay.
However, porcelain is also tricky to work with. It has a very different consistency than other clays. It’s sticky. It warps. It cracks. Getting really good at porcelain requires a lot of knowledge and practice.
Happily, I think I’ve found some projects that will work for even us beginners. It may be sticky, warpy, and cracky, but we should get to work with porcelain too! Wonky porcelain is better than no porcelain.
Using slab and pinching techniques, we’ll make Christmas-ish table decorations, tea lights, spoons and small dishes.

Please register by 20 November. I know it is rather late to advertise this class and I’m not sure how much uptake I’ll have. Classes that don’t reach my minimum number of students will be cancelled on 22 November. Please don’t pay until 23 November (or pay in class).
