Join Western Australian ceramicist Holly O'Meehan and weave your way to creating your very own woven basket in clay!

In this fun-filled half-day course you will learn how to use clay to weave a basket form to take home after firing. Perfect for beginners right through to those with some previous experience with clay who are looking to create forms in new and exciting ways!

Materials:-

•  Half a bag of clay & a firing fee is included in the cost of the course

What to bring:-

• Notebook & pen
• Apron
• Clay tools (if you have them)
• An old towel
• FAC provides half a bag of clay per student
• Students must wear appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes and tie up long hair for safety reasons

Firing & Glazing:-

• It is not always possible to fire and glaze all pieces made before the end of your course. The firing of each individual item is dependent on many factors including: – drying time, thickness, size, amount of work, when pieces are finished (i.e., towards the end of term the kilns are extremely full), and whether the pieces require bisque or glaze firing. We do our upmost to fire as much work as possible each week, however, please bear in mind all of the above considerations. Please plan in advance if you would like to glaze in your final week of class.
• Once fired, work is left on the collection shelves and an email sent out with collection times. It is the student’s responsibility to identify and collect their own work.
• There are stand-alone glazing courses on offer each term if you would like to come back and finish your work another time.
