4-day Intensive Throwing Workshop with Fiona Shannon
Join experienced local potter Fiona Shannon at Flowerfield Arts Centre during August Craft Month to learn the basics of throwing on the Pottery wheel. In this 4-day Masterclass you will learn and improve upon the basics of throwing on the pottery wheel. You will also master techniques to refine your work such as trimming the bases, adding handles, spouts and textures to your pots. If you already have experience working in clay and wish to improve upon your skills Fiona will happily demonstrate and assist you with this.
Fiona Shannon is currently the Artist in Residence as Flowerfield Arts Centre. Fiona holds a BA Hons Degree in Contemporary Applied Arts from University of Ulster, Belfast and a Diploma in Ceramic Skills and Design from the prestigious Thomastown Pottery, Kilkenny.
