Terry Dickinson and Jan Wachowski team up to create a safe space to explore out-of-the-box ideas and practical techniques to push your creativity to a whole new level.

Combine your prior knowledge and personal skills to stimulate your imagination… “What would happen if…” is the cutting-edge question that will take your art to new levels of miserable failure and astounding success. This is a four-session experience;

Session 1: We will be creating the piece either on the wheel or hand-built.

Session 2: We will jump into the creative process exploring unusual ways to alter the work by gouging, scrapping, carving, adding sculpture or whatever else will push the limits of ceramics.

*2 week session break*

Session 3: Dedicated to the glazing process from oxidation, to reduction to Raku or Saggar. We will introduce concepts and techniques that will open your mind to endless possibilities.

Session 4: A mind-blowing learning experience in which each person will share their work from creation to altering to glazing.

Mud Club members will get a 50% discount.
