What we'll cover across the 4 weeks:

Weeks one and two: The basics of wheel throwing - with plenty of emphasis on hands-on practise on the wheels. We'll start with throwing cylinders and then learn how to alter these to make different shapes like bowls and vases.

Week three: Selection of 4 pots to take forward for firing. (the ones that don't make it can be recycled back into clay for future use). Trimming, tidying, decoration and adjustments of selected pots for bisque firing.

Week four: Glazing of our bisque fired pots.

Finished pots will be ready for collection approximately 2-3 weeks after the end of the course. We will email you when they are ready.

The cost of the course is: £185 per person payable at the time of booking.
