Take your ceramic practice further
Ceramic Design Course II is a continuation of our Ceramic Design Course I . It is designed for former participants and ceramic enthusiasts with previous experience who want to explore a more sculptural, intuitive and experimental approach to working with clay.
Blending technical knowledge with intuitive methodologies, the course draws inspiration from drawing, painting, wood carving and contemporary ceramic practices.
Through coiling, slab-building, pinching, carving and sculptural construction, you will explore texture, surface, colour, rhythm and form while developing your personal creative direction.
Explore form, texture and expression
Four three-hour sessions combining technical development, creative experimentation and individual project work.
Day 1
Form & Construction
Explore sculptural hand-building techniques and intuitive approaches to working with clay. Experiment with coiling, pinching, slab-building and expressive construction, focusing on balance, proportion and structural understanding.
Day 2
Texture, Surface & Mark Making
Discover new ways of expressing ideas through ceramic surfaces. Inspired by drawing, painting and carving, experiment with texture, layering, carving, slips, oxides and mark-making techniques.
Day 3
Scale, Composition & Sculptural Thinking
Develop larger, more expressive ceramic forms with confidence. Explore sculptural composition, structural methods and personal projects with individual guidance. Pieces can reach approximately 30–40 cm in height, depending on available kiln space.
Day 4
Colour, Finishing & Personal Direction
Explore finishing techniques, colour and glazing approaches while refining your individual pieces. Reflect on experimentation, creative processes and how to continue developing your own artistic language through clay.
Develop your own creative language
Throughout the course, each participant receives individual guidance and one-on-one feedback, practical advice for building larger and more complex ceramic forms, and references to contemporary ceramic and sculptural practices.
Together, we shape, carve, build and experiment — bringing ideas to life through clay with intuition, care and a spirit of exploration.
