3-day Slipware Workshop with Niek Hoogland – 4 places left

Niek Hoogland has a vast knowledge of slipware and is one of the leading lights of European slipware ceramics.    He lives in Tegelen,  in the Netherlands, and he has recently been honoured with a solo exhibition to celebrate his life and work.   His much sought after work is in collections all over the world and he will be in the UK this year exhibiting  in Wales,  and he has agreed to do a workshop here at Kigbeare Studios again.   During the 3 days, using earthenware clay, Niek will demonstrate his techniques of making a series of tableware and flatware (tiles, etc) and then demonstrate slip application and mark-making.

This workshop is not suitable for absolute Beginners.  You don’t need to have worked with earthenware or slip previously, but you need to have previous experience of working with clay.

At the end of the 3 days, students may select a maximum of six of their best pots, which will be charged for at the end of the course at £2 per pound.  Please remember to bring wrapping and boxes to transport the raw pots.   Arrangements can be made to bisque fire and then gloss fire work, at a cost of £4 per pound, limited to six clearly marked pieces.  These can then be collected at a later date from either Devon or London.

Date:  Friday 19th to Sunday 21st July 2024
