Clay is a wonderful medium whether hand building or making pots on the wheel!
In these sessions participants explore their own unique relationship to clay. Adrienne has an extraordinary capacity to assist each person to pursue a personal response to the tools and materials available. The 'inner critic' is carefully cajoled into taking a back seat to allow freedom of expression to find its way.
No previous experience of clay or art is needed.

Test Kiln Building Workshop
Date: September 19th/20th
Course Tutors: Gus Mabelson Course Fees: €120 (price includes all materials) Participants: 16
No prior ceramic making skills needed.
Over the weekend participants will learn how to build and fire a gas fast fire test kiln capable of reaching stoneware temperatures in one hour. This versatile kiln can be used for anything from raku to testing high fired porcelain in both oxidising and reducing atmospheres. Participants will have the opportunity to build and take away their own kiln, burner and pyrometer (these will all be charged at cost price and total cost will be approximately €250 depending on numbers wishing to build their own kiln). Saturday will be spent building the kilns and on Sunday participants will be shown how to safely fire and control the newly built kilns.
Gus Mabelson runs the Crafts Council of Ireland’s Ceramic Design and Skills course in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny. In his thirty years involvement with ceramics he has designed and built numerous kilns from small ceramic fibre fast kilns to large brick built woodfired saltglaze kilns.
The Ceramics workshop is located at Island Mill, Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny. For further details email: ceramicscourses@ccoi.ie
