Mark Titchiner Ceramics

The Pottery
The Green
Chediston
Halesworth
Suffolk, IP19 0BB
|
| Telephone: 01986-785242 |
| Website: www.marktitchinerceramics.com |
Throughout July and August 2011 Mark Titchiner will be running a number of 5-day courses in raw glazed, single fired slipware. The aim of this course is to have some fun by taking a few risks with free form slip decoration, to spice up decorating skills and improve students' making skills with throwing or slab-work. Raw glazed once-fired slipware is ideal for this spontaneous approach and with a maximum of six students there will be plenty of one to one tuition. The Pottery is situated about 12 miles from the Suffolk Heritage Coast which is home to RSPB and National Trust nature reserves where there are some wonderful walks. You can also explore the footpaths that cross the fields surrounding the pottery where there is always something interesting to see in the form of wildlife and landscape. |
