Tactile Techniques Handbuilding Workshop, 2 days


  • Rachel Wood Ceramics 7 West Workshops, Harley Foundation Studios, Welbck Worksop, England, S80 3LW United Kingdom (map)

A 2 day workshop designed to introduce students to the tactile hand building techniques of pinching and coiling. Suitable for Beginners and Intermediates.

“What a wonderful couple of days we all had full of clay, inspiration, new knowledge, amid moments and doses of madness and fun. You are indeed a very patient and generous tutor and I can’t thank you enough.”

As a highly skilled practitioner after many years of experience on the international and UK ceramic scene, I have been running workshops with all ages and levels of experience since 2001, including at international ceramic schools in Europe and Australia, one to one sessions, small private groups, and individual mentoring.

Each student is treated as an individual so their own needs and ideas come to life, and according to their level of experience, whether a beginner, intermediate or advanced. Guidance is given throughout. Workshops include frequent demonstrations, some technical talk on constructions and surface treatment, and an insight into my own making and philosophy.

The personal setting in my own studio provides a friendly and nurturing environment to enable each student to feel comfortable and get the most from their stay. You will also have a visual feast of my own work on hand to always inspire you.
