Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades acknowledges the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional custodians of the land on which we operate. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and to all of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who live and work on Wadawurrung Country. We acknowledge their unceded sovereignty over Wadawurrung Country, and the ongoing hardship and trauma as a result of colonisation. The history and continuous culture of the Wadawurrung people is an important part of our shared story.

About this workshop
Learn the ceramics technique of slab building with ceramic artist, Minna Graham!In this full-day workshop, you will learn to make functional and sculptural vases and vessels using slab construction techniques. You will work in a small group with a maximum of 6 participants. Minna will teach you to prepare your clay by rolling and cutting out slabs and assemble your structure by sticking and joining the pieces together. You'll have the chance to experiment with creative manipulation to create abstract shapes and decorative techniques including water etching and scraffito to add depth and texture to your work. At the end of the workshop, you will have created some striking forms which will be fired, glazed and delivered to your address two months after the workshop (it might seem like a long time, but Minna will explain why in the workshop.)
