Throwing and Decoration Techniques
Take part in Lisa's knowledge and techniques during this wonderful themed weekend. The workshop is practical, and Lisa's demonstrations are interspersed with your own work and individual guidance.
The course fee includes:
- Materials: 2kg stoneware clay + slips/glazes/decorative materials + firing (after that, clay costs 70 SEK/kg)
- Drejverkstaden's beautiful fabric bag
- Coffee/tea and snacks after lunch
- Opportunity to leave your work clothes and shoes during the weekend
Prerequisites
No prerequisites are required, but it is good if you have tried throwing at least once before. The course is also suitable for experienced throwers who want to focus more on their personal expression.
Course Structure and Content
During the special course in throwing and decoration techniques, participants will try a variety of ways to make their ceramic objects expressive and personal. We will experiment with carving, adding, marbling, sculpting, painting, and applying with a spray ball, among other techniques, to create patterns, images, and colors that make each object completely unique.
Lisa Hartwig Eriksson works with various decoration techniques in her artistry to create interesting surfaces and effects. Over two inspiring days, she will cover both throwing and a range of tips on different decoration techniques that can be used both during and after the throwing process.
Everyone has their own throwing wheel with adequate spacing and plexiglass between participants' stations. The group consists of a maximum of 13 participants.
Sustainable Materials
In the courses, we work with stoneware clay from the German company Witgerts. At Drejverkstaden, we are very mindful of the environment and operate according to a sustainability plan in everything we do. The clays we purchase come as much as possible from Witgerts, which has a strong environmental policy.
