Unlock the expressive potential of clay through texture in this fast-paced, hands-on masterclass.

You’ll experiment with carving, stamping, layering, and mark-making to create surfaces that catch light, invite touch, and tell a story.

For makers who love to play, experiment, and push clay beyond the smooth and predictable. This hands-on masterclass is designed for students with some experience who want to explore texture as a creative language.

Sarah will demonstrate how she uses sodium silicate to create beautifully cracked, organic vessels.

What you’ll do:

• Experiment with a range of texture techniques and mark-making tools
• Create forms on the wheel to explore surface possibilities
• Learn Sarah’s approach to sodium silicate and its distinctive crackled effects
• Use the wheel to throw and alter forms, using textured ribs
• Shape, stretch, and manipulate vessels to enhance texture and movement
• You will leave with new skills, fresh ideas, and one-of-a-kind textured forms shaped through movement and exploration.
