Course cost - $285
Course fee includes all slips, glazes, and stains; the care of the tiles after they are finished; loading the kiln, firing the tiles, and packing them up ready for pick up in the weeks after the course.
In this 2 day course participants will explore a variety of clay related experiences: digging clay on the shores of The Bay of Fundy, near Diligent River, and then processing it to make decorative tiles. Instruction will be given on how to decorate the tiles using textures made from things found on the beach (sticks, wood, stones, shells, rope) and other decorating options, including stain, slip, and glaze possibilities.
Please note this will be a somewhat physically demanding course, digging, hauling clay, and some hiking will be involved as we collect the clay and bring it back to the studio. Old clothes and sturdy footwear are advised. We will be getting dirty! Please bring plastic bags and buckets or backpack to carry your clay from the beach back to our cars. You can only bring back as much clay as you can carry for the approximately 1/2KM we will have to walk.
Supplies to bring
Rolling pin, paring knife, a ruler and or a square. Any interesting items with texture that you might want to use. All other tools will be provided and glazes will be provided
