This is a 6-week throwing course for those looking to get familiar with the wheel, or develop their throwing skills further.

We will begin by focusing on developing strong key throwing skills: centring, lifting, shaping (cylinders and bowls) and finishing on the wheel. 

You will then learn turning (trimming) a pot - this is the method of finishing and finessing thrown work once leather hard (partly dried) by returning it to the wheel and removing excess clay using a metal tool.  

We will explore surface decoration - carving and slip decoration techniques

And finally how to glaze your pots to achieve the best finish with our wide selection of unique, in-house studio glazes.
