About This Event

The Hand-Building Techniques with Clay workshop will take place on 19 December 2026 at Colchester Makerspace. Participants will work with clay by hand using simple tools, exploring techniques such as hand-built pots, coiling, pinchpot, and slab methods. The workshop is priced at £60.00.

Working with clay by hand, using only simple tools. Explore everything from hand-built pots and coiling to pinchpot and slab techniques.

In this class you will be introduced to clay as a material by Associate Artist Harriet Caslin. Through hand-building techniques, you will explore the way clay behaves and how you can work with it. This will include learning how to use our heavy-duty slab-roller machine. You will be able to test your creative abilities and we will fire your final piece in our kiln.

Attendees must be aged 18+. All materials included.

About the Associate Artist leading the session: Harriet is an independent ceramic designer and artist based in the Essex countryside. Her creative exploration has been deeply influenced by her fascination with line, repetition, tactility, and light. These elements have guided her ever since she started creating objects with her own hands. Website: www.harrietcaslin.com (http://www.harrietcaslin.com/)
