Taking inspiration from the decorative processes used by the Leach Pottery, participants will make a series of test tiles, experiencing skills including: slip decoration, wax resist decoration, ceramic stencils and slip mono-print before making a decorative tile which combines these skills. Participants will gain an understanding of what slips and oxides are, how they are made and how to use them.

Ceramics will be fired and posted back to the group within eight weeks of their visit.
