This course runs once a week for three hours over a six-week period and will guide you through the essentials of wheel throwing.

In the first two sessions, you’ll learn the basics of throwing on the wheel, including how to center the clay and pull a cylinder, before progressing to forming bowls by stretching the clay.

The third session will focus on trimming, where you’ll shape foot rims and clean the bottoms of your pots. This session also introduces slip decoration techniques and attaching handles.

During the fourth session, we’ll explore creating more complex and enjoyable forms, such as candle holders and small vases. In the final week, each student will have the chance to glaze their pieces with a variety of our studio’s house glazes.

After the workshop, your pieces will be carefully dried and fired. Since the clay requires a slow drying process to prevent cracks and ensure even shrinking, it will take about 8 weeks before your work is ready for collection. We will notify you via email when your piece is ready to be picked up.

This course will take place once a week on Sunday mornings, for a total of 6 weeks between 6th October and 10th November ‘24. Each session will be held from 10:30AM to 13:30 PM.
