Service Description
About Frankie.... Frankie is a ceramic artist based in East Anglia – with a gallery in Suffolk and a studio in Essex. She enjoys working in a spontaneous fashion inspired by the colours and textures of the surrounding landscape. Coming from a creative background, Frankie moved to Suffolk having studied in London at Camberwell and Chelsea Art schools. Her BA (Hons) degree is from the University of the Arts, London and she is extremely experienced at both hand built and thrown ceramics, as well as teaching pottery to both adults and children alike. She has more recently opened a lifestyle and events space in Hadleigh and is undertaking an MA in ceramics at RCA. The Class... In this 2 hour class you will be taken through wheel throwing step by step with Frankie, with the addition of manipulating your pieces at the end with frills, lips, spouts and pinches - a Frankie speciality! You will get the chance to make a few pots - some more successful than others probably! - and then choose your favourite to be fired and glazed *. Additional pots can be fired for a small charge. You can also come to a Pottery Painting session and add your own design to your piece(s). This class is suitable for all levels and beginners are welcome! Please note this class is for adults and teens age 14yrs+. Under 18's must be accompanied by a participating adult. After 3-4 weeks we will email to notify you that your pots are ready for collection. We advise you to come in clothing you don't mind getting a bit dirty - pottery can get a little messy! It will also help if your nails are short and you don't have jewellery on - but it isn't essential. * Due to the nature of ceramics not all pots make it out of the firing process in one piece - we will do our best to take care of your creations but cannot be responsible if pots are damaged or destroyed in the firing process and unfortunately we cannot offer refunds if this occurs. ** If booking for more than one participant please check there is space prior to booking, This can be checked with the participant number drop down - if this is not showing there is only one space remaining in the class.
