Karen Tacey designs creates, and fires her own functional and decorative stoneware. Each piece is unique: hand-thrown on the wheel and trimmed before twice firing to very high temperatures with reactive, lead-free glazes that produce a never-ending array of beautiful finishes. No two pieces will ever be the same.

 

The workshop could include throwing on the wheel where you will learn how to make a cylinder, jug, or a small bowl that can be glazed in a choice of beautiful glazes.

 

Or make a platter and trinket bowl with rolled slabs of clay imprinted with foliage or pretty wooden stamps.

​

Your pieces will be ready for collection in 3-4 weeks or can be posted to you. 

 

The three-day workshop will take you through the making process including trimming, adding handles where required, and glazing the pots yourself. This three-day experience will ensure that you get many opportunities to practice your throwing technique as we revisit the wheel whenever possible.
