Pottery Workshop: Make Kusama-Inspired Cheese Boards & Plates
Course Overview
Learn how to make Kusama-Inspired Cheese Boards & Plates
Join us for a fun and creative 3 hours hand building clay workshop, where you’ll learn how to make your own slab-built cheese board and decorative plate inspired by the playful world of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.
Working with clay slabs, you’ll learn the basics of cutting, shaping, joining and texturing clay to create your own unique pieces. You’ll then have the opportunity to decorate your creations using dots, repetition, organic forms and bold patterns, taking inspiration from Kusama’s instantly recognisable visual language.
Your pieces will be carefully dried, glazed and kiln-fired after the workshop, ready for you to collect once they’re finished.
Come along, get your hands dirty and create something bold, playful and uniquely yours!
No previous experience is needed, this workshop is run in a relaxed, welcoming and playful atmosphere, and is suitable for beginners.
