We’ll briefly look at other cartography and the parts of a map, share ideas and then make a rough sketch of the location. 

You’ll include historical and personal details and perhaps folklore which will help instil a sense of place, and record your ideas and feelings.

Bronze clay is a form of metal clay that can be sculpted just like a clay then fired to form solid metal pieces. With a good amount of clay to play with you can make small sculptures, or larger statement pieces of jewellery during this fun workshop.

During the day you will learn to mix the clay to prepare it for use, as it comes in powder form, then roll, texture, mould and sculpt pieces. You will then learn to file and sand the pieces to make them ready for the kiln. Embellish your pieces with stones if you like before firing.

Due to the nature of the clay and the 2-phase firing process, the pieces will have to be taken away to fire and polish overnight, then returned to the college to collect within a few days.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who already have metal clay experience.

• looping around a core (Tybrind Vig stitch).
• Coptic stitch (cross-knit looping).
