The paid workshop is £75 per person and includes hands-on clay time, lunch, refreshments and a surprise goodie bag on the day.
Developed by production potter Jeff Rottman, GR Pottery Forms offer a reusable and budget-friendly way to create repeatable slab-built ceramic shapes.
Instead of throwing on the wheel, makers can drape or press clay over the form to create clean, consistent shapes with a professional finish while still keeping the character of handmade ceramics.
The range includes a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including round forms, square forms, rectangles, ovals, hexagons, trays, bowls, shells, seasonal Christmas tree forms and more. They are ideal for pottery studios, ceramic cafés, schools, colleges, creative workshops and individual makers.
We have a large range of GR Pottery Forms due to arrive at Cromartie Hobbycraft around August/September time. See the GR Pottery Forms page here for details.
This demo day is a great opportunity to see the forms in use, explore the different shapes available and find out which styles could work best for your own pottery projects, classes or studio sessions.
This free demo day is suitable for anyone interested in handbuilding with clay, from pottery studio owners and ceramic café teams to teachers, ceramics education providers, workshop leaders and individual makers looking for new project ideas.
Pottery studios and ceramic cafés looking for repeatable handbuilding projects.
Schools, colleges and education settings wanting accessible clay project ideas.
