Feedback from the workshop attendee, Pat Alexander

“Last weekend I had both the pleasure and privilege to do the workshop run by Tatyanna following on from her talk on Friday evening at CPA, where, by the way I discovered we had a multiple Supreme Award winner at W.O.W. in our mids.

But, getting back to the workshop Tatyanna had us thinking, rolling, brushing, cutting and throwing off the hump, all no means easy feat with 10 or so potters at differing levels of expertise.

We were exhausted but delighted by Sunday afternoon, coming away happily inspired after a thoroughly full on weekend of potting. Many thanks to Tatyanna for her humour patience and encouragement.”

Mould Making Workshop with Amy Michaels

We got down and dirty, we had plaster on our hands and luckily no disasters on the floor! So everyone was able to take a mould home if not two, with enough experience to make more. Not
only did we make press moulds, but we utilised our time and scraps to make stamps and sprigs.
Students were pleasantly surprised by how much detail is picked up of the model. Everyone had a productive and very enjoyable time.
