Hand Building Houses Using Slab Building and Decal Techniques with Alice Mara

Date: Wednesday 18th - Thursday 19th June AND Monday 21st - Tuesday 22nd July 2025
Duration: Four-day workshop.

The main objective of this course is for students to build a wonderful and realistic version of their own house (or a building that they love) using slab building techniques and photographic transfers. Students will also have the opportunity to make a number of other buildings within this exciting course.

This workshop will be split into two parts. The first two days will be spent hand building the structure of each student’s house or building and the second part will take place four weeks later once the pieces have been bisque fired and glazed. When students return for the second part of the workshop they will learn to use photographic transfers to bring their structures to life.

There will be a four-week gap until the second part of the workshop, to give time for the pieces to dry, then be bisque fired and then glazed in white before being fired again. During this time Alice will also create transfers for the bespoke houses ready for the students when they return for part two.

Class Size: Maximum 10 students
