Your Course
Russell Kingston’s 5-day masterclass provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in your passion for clay. You’ll explore all aspects of throwing, with the time and expert support to develop your skills and form.
Combining traditional techniques with a fresh, modern approach, Russell creates robust, functional pieces designed for everyday use. His signature style integrates wheel throwing and hand building with slabs, using vibrant oxides and animated slip movements to create dynamic and unique surface textures.
In this masterclass, you’ll enjoy hands-on guidance in techniques such as altering wheel-thrown forms, integrating slabs and instinctive decorative work to develop your own creative voice.
The course provides a unique opportunity to explore the expressive possibilities of working with clay in a relaxed, supportive environment. By the end of the workshop you’ll leave with improved throwing skills and a deeper understanding of the balance between functionality and artistic expression in ceramics.
