Plates, Pinch Pots and Play
Highlights from After-School Pottery
A beautiful collection of plates and bowls has emerged from this term’s After-School Pottery Club. The group is a lively mix of beginners and some who’ve been with Hags Pottery for over two years - and their progress really shows.
Throughout the Spring Term, they’ve explored a range of hand-building techniques, including pinch potting and slab work using moulds. Some even had a go on the wheel for finishing touches, when time (and supervision) allowed.
Each piece has been carefully decorated with coloured slip, detailed with underglaze, and finished with a transparent glaze to bring everything to life.
From preparing the clay to glazing - and even the washing up - the children take part in the whole process. Each session includes a balance of skills teaching, guided tasks, creative play, and space for personal experimentation.
Please contact me if you are interested in joining us for the summer term.
