Demonstration by Adrian Bates

​

Saturday 4th March 2023

10am for a 10:30 start – 4pm

Herne Farm Leisure Centre, Herne Farm, Petersfield, GU314 PJ

We are delighted to be welcoming Adrian Bates as our next in-person demonstrator.

This event is being run in collaboration with PACS (Petersfield) Potters.

Adrian has been a full-time maker for over a decade now and has developed many  techniques, particularly perhaps in slab building, to suit the forms he makes which will hopefully be of interest to other makers.

As a teacher of ceramics he encourages students to develop a broad skillset in all the major methods as these tell the maker a lot about how clay responds to different treatments and changes it’s behaviour at different stages of stiffening, drying and firing.

His pieces are engaging, thought provoking and simply stunning!

Fee is £25 for members of the Southern Ceramic Group and PACS potters. Guests are  £30 per ticket. Guests are most welcome so please do share this information with friends, family and other pottery enthusiasts!

There will be an extended lunch to incorporate the AGM meeting of the SCG.

Lunch is buffet style so please bring a contribution of food to this – do please let me know (email at the end of this) what you will be bringing so we don’t end up with too much of one type!
