FAQ

  • Do I have to be experienced with clay to do this course?

    No, This course is suitable for beginners and covers a lot of foundation information for anyone new to hand building.

  • Do I have to use the recommended products?

    All of the tools and materials are flexible. I share my own preferences, though you can absolutely improvise throughout. A list of recommended tools and materials is available in the course player.

  • Do I need access to a kiln?

    Ideally yes, just to see your completed results. If you do not have immediate access however, that is fine. The work will keep until you are ready to fire.

  • Do you include how to make, glaze and fire the clay pieces?

    This course covers many foundation topics such as storing clay, making, drying, glazing and a little on firing of your work. I have aimed for the course to be an excellent starting point, though please seek a group in your local area to help you along if you need more direct instruction.

  • What Tools do I need for the course?

    You can see the full list of items I recommend within the course 'preview', though all items are simple standard clay studio tools and materials.

  • Can I use any clay for this course?

    Yes you can, though some will be much much easier than others. I strongly recommend starting with a hand-building clay.
