Wheel Throwing Course (5 weeks)
Wheel Throwing Pottery Class (5 Weeks)
Get behind the wheel.
If you love the idea of doing something new and exciting, and don’t mind getting a little muddy, then this is the course for you. Over 5 weeks, you’ll be guided by our experienced teachers, giving you all the tricks and skills needed to become a capable thrower. You’ll get to learn the basics on how to throw simple shapes such as cylinders (cups and mugs), bowls and vases.
You’ll learn how to trim and shape your pots (extremely satisfying) and then learn how to glaze and decorate your work using our broad palette of glazes. While throwing clay requires attention and practice, we know that at the end of this workshop you’ll be able to take home a piece of work that you’ll be proud of.
