May Fete at the Greenhouses

A full day weekend workshop at the Bell House Pottery with skilled ceramic sculptor, Ben Swift. During the one day pottery workshop you will, with guidance and demonstrations from your tutor: Model a small self/portrait head in terracotta clay. Learn about proportions of the head. Build up a basic head form on a simple armature support. Use modelling tools to construct the features. Create surface details: hair, skin etc. Finish and prepare the piece for the kiln.! Teacher is Ben Swift  Ben is a ceramic artist and ceramics teacher based in Dulwich. His work explores both figurative, geometric and organic subjects with emphasis on process: construction, throwing, casting and fabrication, thus creating rhythms, textures and forms. These are expressed through the treatment of a variety of media. Most often he employs ceramics but he also combines constructed metals and found objects. Recent work has begun to compose disparate elements as assemblages. Cost is £150, Concessions £75  Concession tickets are for those who would not be able to attend at the full price due to financial considerations.
