Throwing Larger Vessels with David Preston- MASTERCLASSES
Join us at Globe 2 for this masterclass as you learn to throw large vessels
WHO: Join David Preston for this one-off workshop, throwing large vessels.
WHEN: Monday 11th August, for intermediate/ advanced clients only. You will be throwing with 5lbs of clay, so please only book if you feel confident to use this amount of clay.
WHAT: This workshop is ideal for potters who are comfortable on the wheel and ready to explore throwing with larger amounts of clay. Designed to help you scale up your work, the session covers both preparation and throwing techniques to support the transition to bigger forms.
The workshop includes demonstrations on preparing and wedging larger clay portions, followed by practical guidance on centering, opening, and pulling up more substantial weights. Students will then spend the bulk of the session practicing at the wheel, working on one or two larger pieces with individual instruction and feedback.
Expect a supportive and hands-on environment with a strong emphasis on improving control, technique, and confidence when working at scale.
Before booking you should be confident throwing with smaller amounts of clay.
Please book a 5/6 week course if you dont know the basics of throwing yet, we suggest a minimum of 40 hours throwing practice and knowledge before booking a workshop like this.
Painting w. Geoff Chilton @G2
Join artist Geoff Chilton for this full-day painting workshop in Holme Mills gardens
Join artist and tutor Geoff Chilton to unwind with art this Summer. Grow your confidence with outdoor painting and experiment with a variety of materials.
“Gardens and allotments are a treasure trove inspiration for artists. Join artist and tutor Geoff Chilton at the Globe Arts garden in this day-long workshop to explore the potential of this outdoor environment as a creative stimulus.
The first part of the day will be spent investigating the garden and nearby allotments, making sketches and drawings with different media. Geoff will guide you through the process of developing your own ‘vocabulary’ of marks to express what you see and feel.
There will be a short break, after which the sketches you made outside can be developed, in the studio or outside as you prefer, to produce a more considered piece. Here, Geoff will guide you through the compositional and tonal elements to improve your work, and show how the application of different media can add an extra dynamism.
This workshop is an exciting way to develop your personal expression through painting and drawing.
All materials will be provided for the workshop, but if you want to bring any of your own favourite paints and brushes, that’s fine. Similarly, if you have your own sketchbook and favourite pencils and want to work with them, that’s okay too.”
