*Making a ring with layers*
Course Description:
Layers that occur in nature, such as in slate, have fascinated me for a long time. My aim was to bring nature and geometric bodies together. I created rings with layers in many variations.
In this course I would like to explain the procedure for making such a ring step by step. I have decided that you can watch me making a ring almost full time. The motto for me was demonstrate - imitate. So I made 6 videos with a total length of a little more than 4 hours, in which I explain the whole process and procedure. For each video you can also download an accompanying description with the subtitles to the video and time details for the respective steps. This can help you find the steps in the video.
I recommend that you download all the PDF material at the beginning of the course. It is also an advantage to watch the videos before you start. This takes time, but it gives you the opportunity to get to grips with the work you will be doing. You get to know and understand the procedures. It also gives you a chance to get the materials and tools you need. You also have the possibility to book a one-to-one support in case of uncertainties or questions with the help of the platform Zoom on my diary. For simpler questions you can also write me an email which I will answer promptly.
Now I wish you fun, paired with the necessary patience and perseverance!
Something else very important!
You have exclusive access to the private Facebook group *Ceramics Online* register in the group. I will then activate your access.
This group is about the exchange among participants of my online courses. Since the social aspect is missing in the online courses, I hope to cushion this somewhat in this group. I hope for a lively exchange of ceramic specific questions and solutions. I would like to answer as many questions as possible that arise during an online course! So register and join the group!
