WHEN
WHY LEARN WITH SNAKEBIRD?
You may get a cheaper term course elsewhere, but the student experience in the Snakebird Studio is unique in the following ways!
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
This 6 week term course will build upon the skillset learnt in the beginner term course. Students will continue to refine their wedging, centering and trimming skills and tackle more complex forms.
-
How to make a unified set- creating continuity through form and decoration
-
How to throw larger bowls and plates on bats
-
How to use calipers to create fitted lids for jars
- How to trim footrings
-
How to explore your style and preferences by using underglaze, oxides, stains and dipping glazes to achieve a desired look
-
How to attach clay to a wheel thrown piece, such as adding a handle to a mug
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?
Sarah Muir-Smith from Snakebird Designs will be your teacher. Having several years of teaching experience, she prides herself on providing a fun, supportive environment to learn through movement and connection with natural materials. Respect for the land and materials used are integral to Sarah’s practice.
Sarah is enthusiastic and patient and will make sure you feel right at home in the class! Student curiosity and independence is encouraged and facilitated in this course.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course is for students who have completed a beginner wheel course with Snakebird or elsewhere and are comfortable throwing small cups and bowl form off the hump already. If you're not quite confident, why not enrol for the beginner wheel course instead?
Class size is a maximum of 4 students, so this is a rare opportunity to get almost private tuition on the wheel!
Please refer to Sarah’s work on instagram (@snakebirddesigns) to get a feel for the kind of look and feel of her ceramics and see if it’s a good match for your aesthetic preferences. The Snakebird Studio is committed to using waste materials where possible going forward.
THEN WHAT?
Utilise the Snakebird Studio Access to come in and practice your wheel throwing skills, or enrol in the intermediate course next!
