In this fun introductory class, you will become familiar with the potter's wheel and have a chance to make your own mug or vase by using handbuilding techniques.
You will begin by weighing your clay balls, then watch a demonstration to learn the techniques needed to ‘center’ your clay and ‘pull’ up the walls of your pots. Sitting down at your own dedicated potter's wheel, you’ll get hands-on experience throwing a cylinder, guided by your instructor’s expertise.
Expect a messy, challenging, but rewarding experience!
This class is a perfect introduction to determine if pottery is your passion for longer courses, or simply a delightful way to have fun with this incredible medium. Each class accommodates a maximum of eight attendees, ensuring personalized attention with your own wheel.
For the work that you decide to fire, there will be a charge of £5 per kilogram to cover materials and fuel.
All materials and tools will be provided.
This one-off taster class runs between 10:30pm and 15:30pm on Saturday 21st tof September.
