Where creativity meets personalised instruction
If you’re up for advancing your skills, or want to dive into a specific form or concept, come join me in one of my workshops! This section will be ever growing based on what I get obsessed with… ever changing, ever growing, ever evolving.
In this 2-day workshop we’ll be working on how to throw larger bellied-out pots. We will observe and discuss the form in connection to its origins and evolution from the traditional Korean moon jars, and find tips and tricks based in traditional Korean throwing techniques. You will need a foundation of throwing skills, but we will focus on how to throw larger and wider forms — wherever you are at in your own clay journey, we will push to go a bit bigger, while getting more out of your clay!
Trimming and glazing will be beyond the scope of the workshop and should be completed after.

Nelson Clay week Glaze Chemistry: Fixing a Glaze using Glazy.org - with Ronald Boersen
In this workshop, we'll delve into the intricacies of glazes. I encourage all participants to bring along a glaze recipe that isn't quite living up to expectations or is posing some challenges. Together, we'll examine these recipes and use glazy.org to analyse the chemistry behind their success (or lack thereof). We'll collaborate to workshop and test potential solutions. Throughout the process, we'll uncover the significance of the Unity Molecular Formula (UMF) and how different glaze ingredients influence the final fired result. This workshop is designed for potters with experience in glazing who aim to deepen their understanding and control over their outcomes.
