Hey Potters,
With August nearly over and the club events ramping up like there is no tomorrow, another update is due! The following updates can be found on the website under club news as well. Programme reminders Sat10th Sept Pit and Saggar Firing Tuesday 13 Sept, Wheel work Demo with Dianne Macdonald Sat 24 Sept, Working Bee 1-3 (afternoon only) Paper Clay Demo - Tuesday 11th October 7pm - 9pm Why use Paper Clay? It has exceptional strength before bisque firing, it's light and can be made out of scrap clays. You can build large structures and add wet to dry clay. It's fast drying, versatile and can be filed, carved or drilled. It's ideal for slab work and tiles as it doesn't warp or crack when fired. It can be stored dry in flat sheets and then cut with scissors or a Stanley knife before joining or reconstituting. Lesley Towart will be giving a demonstration of paper clay making along with some of its applications. 16th October - Wood Firing with Halswell Pottery Find more information on the club website. Birds of our Estuary - Exhibition The Estuary Trust’s Bird Expo is on at the Mt Pleasant Community Centre.
