Weekend course turning, May 3-4

At Lervi's weekend courses, you get to take part in the entire ceramics journey – from clay to finished product.

The course is suitable for both complete beginners and those with previous experience. The teaching takes the form of joint instruction in the various elements as well as individual supervision based on your personal level of knowledge. You have good opportunities to develop if you take several courses.

COURSE SCHEDULE
You will learn the basics of turning, charging and glazing. If interested, you will also be shown how to turn specific items, cups, bowls, plates and candlesticks. You will also be able to create items without a turning wheel, for example, squiggling, rolling, sculpting, etc.

Depending on how much you know, I will help you develop further.

The teaching consists mostly of practical work under the supervision of Ellen. Everyone has their own turntable throughout the course.

Feel free to prepare by getting inspired by what you would like to create during the course. If you are a complete beginner, you can watch videos where others show how to center and turn (you will of course also learn this on site). Wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting muddy on, you can borrow an apron. If you have long hair, it is practical to keep it up.

You bring your own lunch for both days, we will provide afternoon coffee.

SATURDAY 10-16
Introduction and demonstration of centering and turning. We turn all day.

SUNDAY 10-15
I will teach you how to decorate the underside of the turned objects, we will put on ears, decorate, sign, etc.
There is also the opportunity to roll, curl or sculpt.

GLAZING approx. 2h
After the weekend, the pieces need to be fired before it is time to glaze, so we will book an appointment for this a few weeks later. After that, it will be another 3-4 weeks (when the ceramics are glazed fired) before you can come and pick up your finished pieces.

LOCATION & PRICE
Lervis pottery workshop is located 10 km south of Hjo in the small village of Äskelid. The course fee is paid here in the webshop, then there is a material cost of 100 SEK/kg for the finished fired goods which you pay when you pick up your finished products.

It is possible to rent accommodation if necessary.
