      <title>Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (13 Jul 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;This 10 week course is recommended for potters that have undertaken an introduction wheel throwing course and have 6-12 months’ wheel throwing experience. Students must already be able to centre clay and create simple forms on the wheel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;As a “project-based” skill-development course, it focuses on learning and refining skills such as working with larger amounts of clay,&amp;nbsp; throwing taller, shaping/bellying and collaring-in, repetitive throwing, throwing and turning feet, faceting &amp;amp; carving, handles: pulling, hand-built and extruded, shaping rims and spouts, as well as creating assemblages from thrown forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Marc Sauvage's Working with Simple Moulds (14 Jul 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Simple Molds, taught by Marc Sauvage,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beginning to Intermediate clayworkers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the name suggests, the course takes an uncomplicated approach to the making of molds using both found and sourced materials such as timber, foam, cardboard, plastic and plaster, and those completing the course will have completed a variety of drape, slump, hump, press and casting molds. A range of decorating techniques appropriate for the molds created are also explored, both by demo and participation, including textures (created and found), coloured slips and clays, paper transfer &amp;amp; stencils, as well as coloured glazes. The course finale is an introduction to slip-casting with participants completing a simple one-piece cup/tumbler/cylindrical form, then casting from the mold using slip made by themselves using their own dried clay body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;A reasonable level of fitness is required to manage bags of clay and buckets of plaster. The ability to throw basic shapes on the wheel is an advantage, as simple thrown forms can be used to make molds, but it is not a requirement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;By the end of this course students should be able to:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make a variety of molds suitable for the production of simple ceramic forms, both flatware and 3-dimensional.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Investigate the use of a variety of materials, both found and sourced, such as timber, foam, plastic and plaster to produce simple molds such as drape, hump, press, and slip-cast &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#BFBFBF"&gt;(in this course, we will make a simple one-piece mold as an introduction to the process of slip-casting. The “All things Plaster” course will involve a more in depth learning about multi-piece slip-casting molds.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make your own casting slip from a dry clay body.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Mix casting plaster using the correct ratios and techniques for removal of bubbles and&amp;nbsp; effective pouring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make different coloured slips using ceramic stains&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Experiment with a range of decoration techniques and materials suitable for use in conjunction with the molds created, such as textures (texture rollers, stamps and found objects), coloured slips and clays, stencils and underglaze transfers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A list of requirements will be sent out after completion of enrolment in the course. You will also be responsible for the firing of your own work either at home or by progressing it through the SCArt firing system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (20 Jul 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;This 10 week course is recommended for potters that have undertaken an introduction wheel throwing course and have 6-12 months’ wheel throwing experience. Students must already be able to centre clay and create simple forms on the wheel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;As a “project-based” skill-development course, it focuses on learning and refining skills such as working with larger amounts of clay,&amp;nbsp; throwing taller, shaping/bellying and collaring-in, repetitive throwing, throwing and turning feet, faceting &amp;amp; carving, handles: pulling, hand-built and extruded, shaping rims and spouts, as well as creating assemblages from thrown forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Marc Sauvage's Working with Simple Moulds (21 Jul 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Simple Molds, taught by Marc Sauvage,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beginning to Intermediate clayworkers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the name suggests, the course takes an uncomplicated approach to the making of molds using both found and sourced materials such as timber, foam, cardboard, plastic and plaster, and those completing the course will have completed a variety of drape, slump, hump, press and casting molds. A range of decorating techniques appropriate for the molds created are also explored, both by demo and participation, including textures (created and found), coloured slips and clays, paper transfer &amp;amp; stencils, as well as coloured glazes. The course finale is an introduction to slip-casting with participants completing a simple one-piece cup/tumbler/cylindrical form, then casting from the mold using slip made by themselves using their own dried clay body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;A reasonable level of fitness is required to manage bags of clay and buckets of plaster. The ability to throw basic shapes on the wheel is an advantage, as simple thrown forms can be used to make molds, but it is not a requirement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;By the end of this course students should be able to:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make a variety of molds suitable for the production of simple ceramic forms, both flatware and 3-dimensional.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Investigate the use of a variety of materials, both found and sourced, such as timber, foam, plastic and plaster to produce simple molds such as drape, hump, press, and slip-cast &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#BFBFBF"&gt;(in this course, we will make a simple one-piece mold as an introduction to the process of slip-casting. The “All things Plaster” course will involve a more in depth learning about multi-piece slip-casting molds.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make your own casting slip from a dry clay body.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Mix casting plaster using the correct ratios and techniques for removal of bubbles and&amp;nbsp; effective pouring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make different coloured slips using ceramic stains&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Experiment with a range of decoration techniques and materials suitable for use in conjunction with the molds created, such as textures (texture rollers, stamps and found objects), coloured slips and clays, stencils and underglaze transfers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A list of requirements will be sent out after completion of enrolment in the course. You will also be responsible for the firing of your own work either at home or by progressing it through the SCArt firing system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Glazemaking (26 Jul 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Intermediate Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; course has been developed for students who have successfully completed the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Introduction to Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and would like to extend their learning and experience. By way of some chemistry theory, practical tests &amp;amp; experimentation, participants will develop new knowledge &amp;amp; understanding of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;UMF&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Unity Molecular Formula) and the primary roles that fluxes as well as Alumina/Silica ratios play in the development of ceramic glazes. Some of the other topics covered include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;A practical and theoretical investigation of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ian Currie&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; method of glaze testing and development, using understanding of the roles of specific fluxes as well as Alumina and Silica ratios in creating desired glazes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;The Stull map&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;and its role in helping&amp;nbsp; predict &lt;strong&gt;glaze behaviour&lt;/strong&gt; (e.g., glossy vs. matte), compare recipes, troubleshoot problems (like crazing or pinholing), and design new glazes with specific characteristics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Change glazes from gloss to matte and reverse&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Glaze consistency&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;factors such as Specific Gravity and viscosity, use flocculation and deflocculation to fix hard-panned and gelled glazes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Glaze faults&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;and how to fix them&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Using software&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;from sites such as Glazy.org and Digitalfire to alter glazes, create new ones and, substitute materials.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Create &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Line Blends&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to fix glaze problems,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;develop new glazes, blend from one colour to another and&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;adjust glazes for different temperatures&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Developing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Specialty” Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Matte/Gloss, Cr/Sn Pinks, Celadons, Oribe, Zinc-crystalline, Float, Metallic, Majolica, Crackle etc)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Colour Blending&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;using multiple oxides &amp;amp; stains.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Participants will require access to a home computer, laptop or tablet, along with Internet access both at home and during some lessons at SCArt (can connect to Sunshine Coast free WiFi at SCArt). A more complete list of requirements will be forwarded upon enrolment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Glazemaking (2 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Intermediate Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; course has been developed for students who have successfully completed the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Introduction to Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and would like to extend their learning and experience. By way of some chemistry theory, practical tests &amp;amp; experimentation, participants will develop new knowledge &amp;amp; understanding of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;UMF&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Unity Molecular Formula) and the primary roles that fluxes as well as Alumina/Silica ratios play in the development of ceramic glazes. Some of the other topics covered include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;A practical and theoretical investigation of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ian Currie&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; method of glaze testing and development, using understanding of the roles of specific fluxes as well as Alumina and Silica ratios in creating desired glazes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;The Stull map&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;and its role in helping&amp;nbsp; predict &lt;strong&gt;glaze behaviour&lt;/strong&gt; (e.g., glossy vs. matte), compare recipes, troubleshoot problems (like crazing or pinholing), and design new glazes with specific characteristics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Change glazes from gloss to matte and reverse&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Glaze consistency&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;factors such as Specific Gravity and viscosity, use flocculation and deflocculation to fix hard-panned and gelled glazes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Glaze faults&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;and how to fix them&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Using software&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;from sites such as Glazy.org and Digitalfire to alter glazes, create new ones and, substitute materials.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Create &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Line Blends&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to fix glaze problems,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;develop new glazes, blend from one colour to another and&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;adjust glazes for different temperatures&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Developing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Specialty” Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Matte/Gloss, Cr/Sn Pinks, Celadons, Oribe, Zinc-crystalline, Float, Metallic, Majolica, Crackle etc)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Colour Blending&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;using multiple oxides &amp;amp; stains.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Participants will require access to a home computer, laptop or tablet, along with Internet access both at home and during some lessons at SCArt (can connect to Sunshine Coast free WiFi at SCArt). A more complete list of requirements will be forwarded upon enrolment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (3 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;This 10 week course is recommended for potters that have undertaken an introduction wheel throwing course and have 6-12 months’ wheel throwing experience. Students must already be able to centre clay and create simple forms on the wheel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;As a “project-based” skill-development course, it focuses on learning and refining skills such as working with larger amounts of clay,&amp;nbsp; throwing taller, shaping/bellying and collaring-in, repetitive throwing, throwing and turning feet, faceting &amp;amp; carving, handles: pulling, hand-built and extruded, shaping rims and spouts, as well as creating assemblages from thrown forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Marc Sauvage's Working with Simple Moulds (4 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Simple Molds, taught by Marc Sauvage,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beginning to Intermediate clayworkers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the name suggests, the course takes an uncomplicated approach to the making of molds using both found and sourced materials such as timber, foam, cardboard, plastic and plaster, and those completing the course will have completed a variety of drape, slump, hump, press and casting molds. A range of decorating techniques appropriate for the molds created are also explored, both by demo and participation, including textures (created and found), coloured slips and clays, paper transfer &amp;amp; stencils, as well as coloured glazes. The course finale is an introduction to slip-casting with participants completing a simple one-piece cup/tumbler/cylindrical form, then casting from the mold using slip made by themselves using their own dried clay body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;A reasonable level of fitness is required to manage bags of clay and buckets of plaster. The ability to throw basic shapes on the wheel is an advantage, as simple thrown forms can be used to make molds, but it is not a requirement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;By the end of this course students should be able to:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make a variety of molds suitable for the production of simple ceramic forms, both flatware and 3-dimensional.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Investigate the use of a variety of materials, both found and sourced, such as timber, foam, plastic and plaster to produce simple molds such as drape, hump, press, and slip-cast &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#BFBFBF"&gt;(in this course, we will make a simple one-piece mold as an introduction to the process of slip-casting. The “All things Plaster” course will involve a more in depth learning about multi-piece slip-casting molds.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make your own casting slip from a dry clay body.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Mix casting plaster using the correct ratios and techniques for removal of bubbles and&amp;nbsp; effective pouring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make different coloured slips using ceramic stains&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Experiment with a range of decoration techniques and materials suitable for use in conjunction with the molds created, such as textures (texture rollers, stamps and found objects), coloured slips and clays, stencils and underglaze transfers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A list of requirements will be sent out after completion of enrolment in the course. You will also be responsible for the firing of your own work either at home or by progressing it through the SCArt firing system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Glazemaking (9 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Intermediate Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; course has been developed for students who have successfully completed the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Introduction to Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and would like to extend their learning and experience. By way of some chemistry theory, practical tests &amp;amp; experimentation, participants will develop new knowledge &amp;amp; understanding of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;UMF&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Unity Molecular Formula) and the primary roles that fluxes as well as Alumina/Silica ratios play in the development of ceramic glazes. Some of the other topics covered include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (10 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;This 10 week course is recommended for potters that have undertaken an introduction wheel throwing course and have 6-12 months’ wheel throwing experience. Students must already be able to centre clay and create simple forms on the wheel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;As a “project-based” skill-development course, it focuses on learning and refining skills such as working with larger amounts of clay,&amp;nbsp; throwing taller, shaping/bellying and collaring-in, repetitive throwing, throwing and turning feet, faceting &amp;amp; carving, handles: pulling, hand-built and extruded, shaping rims and spouts, as well as creating assemblages from thrown forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Marc Sauvage's Working with Simple Moulds (11 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Simple Molds, taught by Marc Sauvage,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beginning to Intermediate clayworkers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the name suggests, the course takes an uncomplicated approach to the making of molds using both found and sourced materials such as timber, foam, cardboard, plastic and plaster, and those completing the course will have completed a variety of drape, slump, hump, press and casting molds. A range of decorating techniques appropriate for the molds created are also explored, both by demo and participation, including textures (created and found), coloured slips and clays, paper transfer &amp;amp; stencils, as well as coloured glazes. The course finale is an introduction to slip-casting with participants completing a simple one-piece cup/tumbler/cylindrical form, then casting from the mold using slip made by themselves using their own dried clay body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;A reasonable level of fitness is required to manage bags of clay and buckets of plaster. The ability to throw basic shapes on the wheel is an advantage, as simple thrown forms can be used to make molds, but it is not a requirement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;By the end of this course students should be able to:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make a variety of molds suitable for the production of simple ceramic forms, both flatware and 3-dimensional.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Investigate the use of a variety of materials, both found and sourced, such as timber, foam, plastic and plaster to produce simple molds such as drape, hump, press, and slip-cast &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#BFBFBF"&gt;(in this course, we will make a simple one-piece mold as an introduction to the process of slip-casting. The “All things Plaster” course will involve a more in depth learning about multi-piece slip-casting molds.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make your own casting slip from a dry clay body.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Mix casting plaster using the correct ratios and techniques for removal of bubbles and&amp;nbsp; effective pouring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make different coloured slips using ceramic stains&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Experiment with a range of decoration techniques and materials suitable for use in conjunction with the molds created, such as textures (texture rollers, stamps and found objects), coloured slips and clays, stencils and underglaze transfers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A list of requirements will be sent out after completion of enrolment in the course. You will also be responsible for the firing of your own work either at home or by progressing it through the SCArt firing system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (17 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;This 10 week course is recommended for potters that have undertaken an introduction wheel throwing course and have 6-12 months’ wheel throwing experience. Students must already be able to centre clay and create simple forms on the wheel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;As a “project-based” skill-development course, it focuses on learning and refining skills such as working with larger amounts of clay,&amp;nbsp; throwing taller, shaping/bellying and collaring-in, repetitive throwing, throwing and turning feet, faceting &amp;amp; carving, handles: pulling, hand-built and extruded, shaping rims and spouts, as well as creating assemblages from thrown forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Marc Sauvage's Working with Simple Moulds (18 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Simple Molds, taught by Marc Sauvage,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beginning to Intermediate clayworkers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the name suggests, the course takes an uncomplicated approach to the making of molds using both found and sourced materials such as timber, foam, cardboard, plastic and plaster, and those completing the course will have completed a variety of drape, slump, hump, press and casting molds. A range of decorating techniques appropriate for the molds created are also explored, both by demo and participation, including textures (created and found), coloured slips and clays, paper transfer &amp;amp; stencils, as well as coloured glazes. The course finale is an introduction to slip-casting with participants completing a simple one-piece cup/tumbler/cylindrical form, then casting from the mold using slip made by themselves using their own dried clay body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;A reasonable level of fitness is required to manage bags of clay and buckets of plaster. The ability to throw basic shapes on the wheel is an advantage, as simple thrown forms can be used to make molds, but it is not a requirement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;By the end of this course students should be able to:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make a variety of molds suitable for the production of simple ceramic forms, both flatware and 3-dimensional.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Investigate the use of a variety of materials, both found and sourced, such as timber, foam, plastic and plaster to produce simple molds such as drape, hump, press, and slip-cast &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#BFBFBF"&gt;(in this course, we will make a simple one-piece mold as an introduction to the process of slip-casting. The “All things Plaster” course will involve a more in depth learning about multi-piece slip-casting molds.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make your own casting slip from a dry clay body.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Mix casting plaster using the correct ratios and techniques for removal of bubbles and&amp;nbsp; effective pouring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make different coloured slips using ceramic stains&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Experiment with a range of decoration techniques and materials suitable for use in conjunction with the molds created, such as textures (texture rollers, stamps and found objects), coloured slips and clays, stencils and underglaze transfers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A list of requirements will be sent out after completion of enrolment in the course. You will also be responsible for the firing of your own work either at home or by progressing it through the SCArt firing system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Glazemaking (23 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Intermediate Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; course has been developed for students who have successfully completed the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Introduction to Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and would like to extend their learning and experience. By way of some chemistry theory, practical tests &amp;amp; experimentation, participants will develop new knowledge &amp;amp; understanding of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;UMF&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Unity Molecular Formula) and the primary roles that fluxes as well as Alumina/Silica ratios play in the development of ceramic glazes. Some of the other topics covered include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;A practical and theoretical investigation of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ian Currie&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; method of glaze testing and development, using understanding of the roles of specific fluxes as well as Alumina and Silica ratios in creating desired glazes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;The Stull map&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;and its role in helping&amp;nbsp; predict &lt;strong&gt;glaze behaviour&lt;/strong&gt; (e.g., glossy vs. matte), compare recipes, troubleshoot problems (like crazing or pinholing), and design new glazes with specific characteristics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Change glazes from gloss to matte and reverse&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Glaze consistency&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;factors such as Specific Gravity and viscosity, use flocculation and deflocculation to fix hard-panned and gelled glazes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Glaze faults&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;and how to fix them&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Using software&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;from sites such as Glazy.org and Digitalfire to alter glazes, create new ones and, substitute materials.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Marc Sauvage's Working with Simple Moulds (25 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Simple Molds, taught by Marc Sauvage,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beginning to Intermediate clayworkers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the name suggests, the course takes an uncomplicated approach to the making of molds using both found and sourced materials such as timber, foam, cardboard, plastic and plaster, and those completing the course will have completed a variety of drape, slump, hump, press and casting molds. A range of decorating techniques appropriate for the molds created are also explored, both by demo and participation, including textures (created and found), coloured slips and clays, paper transfer &amp;amp; stencils, as well as coloured glazes. The course finale is an introduction to slip-casting with participants completing a simple one-piece cup/tumbler/cylindrical form, then casting from the mold using slip made by themselves using their own dried clay body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;A reasonable level of fitness is required to manage bags of clay and buckets of plaster. The ability to throw basic shapes on the wheel is an advantage, as simple thrown forms can be used to make molds, but it is not a requirement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;By the end of this course students should be able to:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make a variety of molds suitable for the production of simple ceramic forms, both flatware and 3-dimensional.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Investigate the use of a variety of materials, both found and sourced, such as timber, foam, plastic and plaster to produce simple molds such as drape, hump, press, and slip-cast &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#BFBFBF"&gt;(in this course, we will make a simple one-piece mold as an introduction to the process of slip-casting. The “All things Plaster” course will involve a more in depth learning about multi-piece slip-casting molds.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make your own casting slip from a dry clay body.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Mix casting plaster using the correct ratios and techniques for removal of bubbles and&amp;nbsp; effective pouring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make different coloured slips using ceramic stains&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Experiment with a range of decoration techniques and materials suitable for use in conjunction with the molds created, such as textures (texture rollers, stamps and found objects), coloured slips and clays, stencils and underglaze transfers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A list of requirements will be sent out after completion of enrolment in the course. You will also be responsible for the firing of your own work either at home or by progressing it through the SCArt firing system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (31 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;This 10 week course is recommended for potters that have undertaken an introduction wheel throwing course and have 6-12 months’ wheel throwing experience. Students must already be able to centre clay and create simple forms on the wheel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;As a “project-based” skill-development course, it focuses on learning and refining skills such as working with larger amounts of clay,&amp;nbsp; throwing taller, shaping/bellying and collaring-in, repetitive throwing, throwing and turning feet, faceting &amp;amp; carving, handles: pulling, hand-built and extruded, shaping rims and spouts, as well as creating assemblages from thrown forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Glazemaking (6 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Intermediate Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; course has been developed for students who have successfully completed the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Introduction to Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and would like to extend their learning and experience. By way of some chemistry theory, practical tests &amp;amp; experimentation, participants will develop new knowledge &amp;amp; understanding of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;UMF&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Unity Molecular Formula) and the primary roles that fluxes as well as Alumina/Silica ratios play in the development of ceramic glazes. Some of the other topics covered include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;A practical and theoretical investigation of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ian Currie&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; method of glaze testing and development, using understanding of the roles of specific fluxes as well as Alumina and Silica ratios in creating desired glazes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;The Stull map&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;and its role in helping&amp;nbsp; predict &lt;strong&gt;glaze behaviour&lt;/strong&gt; (e.g., glossy vs. matte), compare recipes, troubleshoot problems (like crazing or pinholing), and design new glazes with specific characteristics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Change glazes from gloss to matte and reverse&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Glaze faults&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;and how to fix them&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (7 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;This 10 week course is recommended for potters that have undertaken an introduction wheel throwing course and have 6-12 months’ wheel throwing experience. Students must already be able to centre clay and create simple forms on the wheel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;As a “project-based” skill-development course, it focuses on learning and refining skills such as working with larger amounts of clay,&amp;nbsp; throwing taller, shaping/bellying and collaring-in, repetitive throwing, throwing and turning feet, faceting &amp;amp; carving, handles: pulling, hand-built and extruded, shaping rims and spouts, as well as creating assemblages from thrown forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Marc Sauvage's Working with Simple Moulds (8 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Simple Molds, taught by Marc Sauvage,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beginning to Intermediate clayworkers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the name suggests, the course takes an uncomplicated approach to the making of molds using both found and sourced materials such as timber, foam, cardboard, plastic and plaster, and those completing the course will have completed a variety of drape, slump, hump, press and casting molds. A range of decorating techniques appropriate for the molds created are also explored, both by demo and participation, including textures (created and found), coloured slips and clays, paper transfer &amp;amp; stencils, as well as coloured glazes. The course finale is an introduction to slip-casting with participants completing a simple one-piece cup/tumbler/cylindrical form, then casting from the mold using slip made by themselves using their own dried clay body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;A reasonable level of fitness is required to manage bags of clay and buckets of plaster. The ability to throw basic shapes on the wheel is an advantage, as simple thrown forms can be used to make molds, but it is not a requirement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;By the end of this course students should be able to:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make a variety of molds suitable for the production of simple ceramic forms, both flatware and 3-dimensional.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Investigate the use of a variety of materials, both found and sourced, such as timber, foam, plastic and plaster to produce simple molds such as drape, hump, press, and slip-cast &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#BFBFBF"&gt;(in this course, we will make a simple one-piece mold as an introduction to the process of slip-casting. The “All things Plaster” course will involve a more in depth learning about multi-piece slip-casting molds.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make your own casting slip from a dry clay body.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Mix casting plaster using the correct ratios and techniques for removal of bubbles and&amp;nbsp; effective pouring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make different coloured slips using ceramic stains&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Experiment with a range of decoration techniques and materials suitable for use in conjunction with the molds created, such as textures (texture rollers, stamps and found objects), coloured slips and clays, stencils and underglaze transfers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A list of requirements will be sent out after completion of enrolment in the course. You will also be responsible for the firing of your own work either at home or by progressing it through the SCArt firing system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (14 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;This 10 week course is recommended for potters that have undertaken an introduction wheel throwing course and have 6-12 months’ wheel throwing experience. Students must already be able to centre clay and create simple forms on the wheel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;As a “project-based” skill-development course, it focuses on learning and refining skills such as working with larger amounts of clay,&amp;nbsp; throwing taller, shaping/bellying and collaring-in, repetitive throwing, throwing and turning feet, faceting &amp;amp; carving, handles: pulling, hand-built and extruded, shaping rims and spouts, as well as creating assemblages from thrown forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Marc Sauvage's Working with Simple Moulds (15 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Simple Molds, taught by Marc Sauvage,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beginning to Intermediate clayworkers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the name suggests, the course takes an uncomplicated approach to the making of molds using both found and sourced materials such as timber, foam, cardboard, plastic and plaster, and those completing the course will have completed a variety of drape, slump, hump, press and casting molds. A range of decorating techniques appropriate for the molds created are also explored, both by demo and participation, including textures (created and found), coloured slips and clays, paper transfer &amp;amp; stencils, as well as coloured glazes. The course finale is an introduction to slip-casting with participants completing a simple one-piece cup/tumbler/cylindrical form, then casting from the mold using slip made by themselves using their own dried clay body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;A reasonable level of fitness is required to manage bags of clay and buckets of plaster. The ability to throw basic shapes on the wheel is an advantage, as simple thrown forms can be used to make molds, but it is not a requirement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;By the end of this course students should be able to:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make a variety of molds suitable for the production of simple ceramic forms, both flatware and 3-dimensional.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Investigate the use of a variety of materials, both found and sourced, such as timber, foam, plastic and plaster to produce simple molds such as drape, hump, press, and slip-cast &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#BFBFBF"&gt;(in this course, we will make a simple one-piece mold as an introduction to the process of slip-casting. The “All things Plaster” course will involve a more in depth learning about multi-piece slip-casting molds.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make your own casting slip from a dry clay body.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Mix casting plaster using the correct ratios and techniques for removal of bubbles and&amp;nbsp; effective pouring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Make different coloured slips using ceramic stains&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Experiment with a range of decoration techniques and materials suitable for use in conjunction with the molds created, such as textures (texture rollers, stamps and found objects), coloured slips and clays, stencils and underglaze transfers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A list of requirements will be sent out after completion of enrolment in the course. You will also be responsible for the firing of your own work either at home or by progressing it through the SCArt firing system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Intermediate Glazemaking (20 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Intermediate Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; course has been developed for students who have successfully completed the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Introduction to Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and would like to extend their learning and experience. By way of some chemistry theory, practical tests &amp;amp; experimentation, participants will develop new knowledge &amp;amp; understanding of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;UMF&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Unity Molecular Formula) and the primary roles that fluxes as well as Alumina/Silica ratios play in the development of ceramic glazes. Some of the other topics covered include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;A practical and theoretical investigation of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ian Currie&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; method of glaze testing and development, using understanding of the roles of specific fluxes as well as Alumina and Silica ratios in creating desired glazes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;The Stull map&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;and its role in helping&amp;nbsp; predict &lt;strong&gt;glaze behaviour&lt;/strong&gt; (e.g., glossy vs. matte), compare recipes, troubleshoot problems (like crazing or pinholing), and design new glazes with specific characteristics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Change glazes from gloss to matte and reverse&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Glaze consistency&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;factors such as Specific Gravity and viscosity, use flocculation and deflocculation to fix hard-panned and gelled glazes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Glaze faults&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;and how to fix them&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Using software&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;from sites such as Glazy.org and Digitalfire to alter glazes, create new ones and, substitute materials.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Create &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Line Blends&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to fix glaze problems,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;develop new glazes, blend from one colour to another and&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;adjust glazes for different temperatures&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;Developing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Specialty” Glazes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Matte/Gloss, Cr/Sn Pinks, Celadons, Oribe, Zinc-crystalline, Float, Metallic, Majolica, Crackle etc)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;·&lt;font style="font-size: 9px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;Colour Blending&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;using multiple oxides &amp;amp; stains.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Participants will require access to a home computer, laptop or tablet, along with Internet access both at home and during some lessons at SCArt (can connect to Sunshine Coast free WiFi at SCArt). A more complete list of requirements will be forwarded upon enrolment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Century Gothic, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
