What will I learn?
Your fourth class will be used for decorating the pieces you have made. These pieces will later be fired in the kiln, for you to collect at a later stage.
We are committed to creating an educational atmosphere that makes learning an exciting experience. Our short courses are intended to empower adult learners to tackle challenges and take on experiences that may be new to them while keeping learning fun and dynamic.
The session will start with a safety briefing and chat about the process, followed by a quick demonstration of throwing a pot on the wheel. You will then get to jump on the wheel yourself and get stuck into centring clay, pulling the walls and shaping your very own ceramic pieces!
This course is for beginners with no previous experience and those that have some experience throwing on a wheel. You will learn the fundamental skills of clay preparation, using a wheel, centring clay, how to throw basic forms, trimming and glazing.
Discover the joys and mindful pleasure of throwing clay on a wheel. No experience needed - just patience. However, this short course is also perfectly suitable for intermediate potters who have done a wheel-throwing course or two and want to practise or refine their skills.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to learn to make a pot on the pottery wheel?
The class will focus on developing the basic techniques of wheel throwing: centering clay, throwing tall cylinders, cups, bowls, turning and basic glazing.
