We are very lucky to have Justine Allison with us for a two-day workshop in May. Justine has primarily hand-built with porcelain since leaving Camberwell School of Art in 1998. Her work explores the simplicity and beauty of clay as well as incorporating pattern, texture and glaze to create unique variations. Justine grew up in London and re-located to rural Wales in 2003 where she now lives and works.
This course will focus on techniques for making clay slabs, then joining these slabs to become vessels. Justine will show you some of the ways in which she works and will demonstrate a variety of different techniques you can use to achieve a range of results. You will explore methods to add pattern and texture to your work and Justine will explain the role of underglazes and simple clear glazing in her work.
