Ceramics (Level 2)

(8 sessions x 3 hours)

This course aims to introduce the basics of ceramics wheel-throwing with fundamental techniques such as wedging, centring, trimming and glazing. Learners will be guided to develop the ability to apply knowledge of principles relating to space, structure, proportions, composition and textures to their artwork in the form of mugs, bowls and side plates. This course is recommended for enthusiasts who have completed the Ceramics (Level 1) course and wish to further their exploration of ceramics making with the pottery wheel.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of this workshop, learners will be able to:
  1. Learn to work with clay on the pottery wheel.
  2. Acquire basic ceramic wheel throwing skills such as wedging, centring, throwing and trimming.
  3. Create ceramics artworks that demonstrate an understanding of aesthetic principles.
Techniques Taught
This course focuses on wheel-throwing techniques such as wedging, centring, throwing, trimming and glazing. 

Number and size of works produced per learner
Each learner will be allowed to create and produce up to 6 pieces of ceramic works. Each work is limited to 20 cm (L) x 20 cm (B) x 20 cm (H).

Quality of works
Our technician will take every precaution and care to ensure the best possible outcomes for your ceramic works. However, inadvertent mistakes and misfires happen, and CLE will not be responsible for undesired/inconsistent results or damaged pieces. There will be no course fee refunds or replacement of ceramic works should the final artwork not meet your expectations.
