Intermediate Ceramics

This course is your gateway to exploring ceramics with a personalized touch. Tailored to your interests, we'll organize demos based on what you want to learn, giving you the freedom to explore your ideas with expert guidance.

You'll dive into advanced glazing techniques, experiment with different types of clay, and gain hands-on experience that enhances your creativity. Basic materials are provided to get you started, and we'll advise on any additional supplies needed as your projects evolve.

If there's a specific technique you're eager to learn, let us know in advance, and we'll do our best to include it. This course is all about helping you develop your skills and artistic vision in ceramics.

Lucy Baxendale is a Ceramicist, Illustrator & Community Artist based in rural Herefordshire. 

Fascinated by the journey from two-dimensional sketches to three-dimensional sculptures, Lucy explores the shifting relationships between the lines in her drawings. As these lines transition into tangible forms, their narratives also evolve.

The outcome of these explorations are one-of-a-kind 3D drawings, intentionally unglazed and stained to echo the essence of a sketch. Through her work, Lucy bridges the realms of imagination and materiality. She invites observers to witness the evolution of lines into stories, forging connections between the drawn and the sculpted.

Lucy was listed as Craft and Design magazines ‘One to watch’ in 2011 and chosen as one of Ceramics Monthly’s emerging artists in 2022
