**Turning Large — Immersion Workshop (Small Group) **
Want to take your turn to the next level and work in larger formats?
This workshop is aimed at those who already have experience in turning and want to develop technology and control on a larger scale.
For 3 hours we work in a small group of 3 people, which allows plenty of time for individual tutoring. The focus is on centering larger amounts of clay, drawing up walls as well as tips for stable shapes.
**This is what you get: **
— Personal tutoring throughout the session
— Techniques for turning larger objects
— Tips on shape, proportion and durability
— Ability to work at your own pace with support whenever you need
**Prerequisites: **
Basic turning habit (you can center and pull up simpler shapes)
Time:3 hours
Number of participants:max 3 persons
Materials to practice on are included. There is an opportunity to burn a work and then you pay for 80 SEK/kg of finished burnt.
**Why I love teaching pottery? **
The mud is the language that everyone can speak and everyone can understand. I want to give my course participants the same peace and togetherness I feel when I get to work with my hands in the mud. You can create to make it something, or you can create to create and let your hand think.
Primeval soil
I am now in my 7th year with my hands in the mud. Urjord pottery was born from the fact that I worked a lot with self-mixed ash glazes. I was floored with fascination when I realized that materials such as the trees plucked from the ground over several decades, remain in the ashes after the fire and can create incredible glazes on ceramics. It is also the very first glaze ever used thousands of years ago. It felt very nice to be able to take something like ash that has already been used up once and find yet another purpose for it. The name URJORD represents this ancient process.
