Slab Building
Ceramics Course

A hands-on ceramics course led by Lily Walkington, exploring slab building from fundamental construction techniques to more advanced forms and surface decoration. Participants create ceramic forms using slabs of clay, progressing from simple shapes to a larger vase and an individual project developed from their own ideas. Guided demonstrations and practice cover template making, joining, sgraffito, paper resist and underglaze decoration, followed by glazing the finished pieces. The course is suitable for complete beginners and those with some experience. It runs on Tuesdays from 3 November to 8 December 2026, 6:30pm–9pm. The course fee is €270. Part of the Samhain Programme.
