2.5 hours

Class size 1 to 6 (public classes), 6 to 10
  £60 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Important venue update: From May onwards, all workshops will take place at our new studio at 377 Station Road, Forest Gate. If you are booking a class scheduled after May, please note the new location when planning your visit.
Looking to expand your hand-building knowledge? This workshop will take you through all the steps to create your own beautiful ceramic raw glazed tiles.
You will be guided through:
  • How to make tiles in different pattern formations
  • The different states of clay needed to achieve your design
  • Carving out your own design
  • What we mean by 'Raw Glazing'
  • How to use the wax resist 'cuerda seca' method
  • How to Raw Glaze your tile (filling in the design directly with glaze creating different effects)
The Workshop will last 2.5 hours, and you will be required to return to the studio at a later date (approx. 3-4 weeks) to collect your tiles once they've been fired in the kiln.
The group will be limited to six people.
Please note: We strive to help you create something amazing during your pottery class. Because each piece is handmade and involves many variables (such as clay handling, glaze, and firing conditions), we’re unable to offer refunds or replacements for defects or damages that occur in items you’ve made.
What you'll get
You can expect to leave with 1-4 tiles 10cm x 10cm depending on the level of detail you wish to achieve in each one. However this size is not mandatory.

Knowledge required
This class is open to all levels of experience, including none at all! The tutor can tailor their advice to your needs.
What to bring

At the Roots and Shoots workshop, we want to help people make and create. We think it's an essential part of a rounded lifestyle; part of the Human Condition. We've got great infrastructure, great knowledge and great people for that.
