Tuition
Girvan Pottery
is in one of the oldest buildings in the town. Small groups ensure that personal space and previous experience can be catered
for. Close by there are a variety of pubs, tea-rooms and restaurants to suit all pockets. The pottery is well-equipped but
lacks ‘high-tec' devices which is the way we like it!
The Pottery...
Winfred works in high-fired stoneware mostly as handbuilt decorative and sculptural forms inspired by the Ayrshire coastline
and landscape.
She graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in the 1960s and has extensive teaching experience.
Apart from designing and ceramics for her gallery The Wave (Girvan Gallery), Winifred works mostly on commissions for corporate
gifts, prizes and designs for architectural and outdoor settings.
The Workshops...
Clay is the most versatile of materials. It offers amazing possibilities to a range of creative approaches. At one stage,
clay can be formed with great freedom and expressiveness, yet another stage it can be formed with complete control and precision.
Many techniques will be explained and demonstrated with plenty of opporunity for personal interpretation. Winfred's
long teaching experience and down-to-earth approach ensures lots of short cuts and tips to avoid the pitfalls of pottery making
for the novice!
