This April why not join Jill Fanshawe Kato on her Inspired by Nature Ceramics course April 10th to 15th. A pottery course for all levels in early springtime in Devon, which is a lovely time of year when life returns to the earth and the hedgerows are fresh with bracken fronds, new leaves and flowers. This five-day course offers students a great opportunity for students to improve their skills in a more relaxed environment than is possible on shorter courses. The emphasis will be on simplicity and good design Inspired by Nature. Starting with handbuilding methods, students will create useful pottery for the table, they will progress to coiling large bowls and lidded pots and also try throwing on the potter’s wheel – those who wish can progress to more individual sculptural forms.
Last year Jill Fanshawe Kato who has been teaching ceramics at Coombe for several years had a splendid array of finished dishes, plates, tiles and bowls made by her students – here are a few delights.
