Throwing, Faceting & Carving with Emily Myers

On days one and two of the workshop a variety of bottles and vases will be thrown by all students. Emily will give demonstrations and provide one-to-one guidance to students to improve their throwing technique.

The vessels thrown on the first two days and will be ready to be carved and faceted on the subsequent days. This is a chance to change the circular thrown pieces into new interesting forms, and to explore new sculptural and decorative possibilities.

Emily will show students how to use a range of tools to achieve different carving styles and students will be guided to improve their confidence and carving technique. There will be an emphasis on how to hold tools to best advantage and experimentation will be encouraged.

Each student will have their own wheel and will receive plenty of individual attention.
