Pattern Making In Clay with Rubber Glove Ceramics

Thursday 10th April 6.30 - 8.30pm

In this two hour workshop, you'll learn how to use coloured clay to create surface patterns on pottery. Make your own colourful clay slabs and use these to build your very own cup or trinket tray.

We’ll also be using colours inspired by the products and interior of This Must Be The Place.

What to expect

• a short paper collaging exercise to explore designs
• learning the basics of slab-building with clay
• coloured clays provided to create surface designs
• templates for making a small cup or tray
• your finished pottery will be glazed and ready for pick up from This Must Be The Place within a few weeks!

What to bring

• clothes that you don’t mind getting messy 
• inspiration images for patterns (optional)

Tutor

This workshop will be run by rubber glove ceramics (aka Paula Doherty). She has been making ceramics for over six years in her Glasgow studio. Her work is predominantly inspired by the natural world, Scottish landscapes and found rocks, but with a contemporary and geometric twist! Paula mostly works in stoneware with some trad pottery elements and colours that are contrasted with simpler yet fun more modern shapes. Through her work, she hopes to create everyday items which can be both long-lasting and functional, and bring a little joy to the user's every day. Alongside her own practice, Paula also runs pottery workshops and works as a technician at Wild Gorse Pottery.
