The pottersKirsteen Benson and Kitty Atkinson are a mother and daughter team...
Kitty had her own ceramic business for many years and has also taught art and crafts to both adults and children.
She started making pots at Glasgow School of Art in the 60s, where she did her degree.
Kirsteen has a degree in Textile design from Herriot Watt University.
The lectureThis lecture covers a brief history of ceramics and gives a few examples of different types of ceramics and of how they are made. It is educational but fun. Questions will be welcome.
The demonstrationWe will bring a wheel so that you may see pottery being made live and close up. This part of pottery making is often the most dramatic as a small mistake becomes a very large one very quickly!
Throwing is a very expert skill and really exciting to watch. We will show you what happens when it goes right and what can go wrong!
This is almost like theatre and people laugh and clap!
An opportunity to shopWe will bring a selection of affordably priced handmade and hand decorated ceramics.
They are displayed with no obligation to purchase.
