Large group workshop for fundraising for Women Vs Cancer!

I was contacted and asked if I could run a large group ceramics workshop in aid of fundraising for Women Vs Cancer charity. 

Here's how it went!

I demonstrated and helped people make a hanging decoration for the house or garden. A large group of 27 people attended, most who had never even experienced clay before! It was a fantastic evening, attendees loved getting their hands dirty with clay; with a cheeky glass or 2 of bubbly!

I had a stall of handmade ceramics to purchase.

The pieces were left to dry out for a week before they could go into their first firing, the first firing clay goes through is called a 'bisque or biscuit firing', this turns the soft clay into hard durable ceramic.

Here they are ready to be loaded into the kiln ...along with a few of my ceramic mushrooms!

Here are the lovely pieces created at the Ceramics Workshop charity evening! 

Some attendees chose to have their pieces glaze fired (finished pieces below). You can see the difference in finish between the unglazed and glazed finished pieces, they are the exact same colours applied, but with glaze the colours really pop and become much more vibrant!

I had a nice surprise during the evening when the local paper came and took some photos for an article!
