GLOOP AND FORMS WORKSHOP
with JIHYUN KIM
£380 (MEMBERS £340)
*FEW SPOTS LEFT*
Sunday 8th and Sunday 15th November
(2:00 - 6:00pm)
Join ceramic artist Jihyun Kim for an immersive two-day pottery workshop exploring the creative potential of Gloop glaze. Designed for makers with some handbuilding experience, this workshop combines sculpture, surface design, and material experimentation to push the boundaries of glazing.
Throughout the masterclass, you'll explore a range of techniques for working with Gloop glaze, from understanding how it behaves on different forms to using it as a creative tool for texture, movement, and surface expression. You'll create both a three-dimensional sculptural piece and a flat ceramic tile, giving you the opportunity to experiment with a variety of glaze applications and effects.
As a special highlight of the workshop, participants will receive a Gloop glaze recipe to take away, giving you the opportunity to continue experimenting with this unique glaze approach and further develop your own surface decoration practice beyond the workshop.
Between the two sessions, all work will be bisque fired and prepared for glazing and decoration on the second day.

-
Hands-on application of Gloop glaze to your sculptural piece and tile

By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained practical knowledge of working with Gloop glaze, a collection of test pieces and finished works, and the confidence to continue exploring this distinctive glazing process in their own ceramic practice.
