Ideal for beginners, this four-week one-to-one course provides a thorough introduction to wheel throwing. Across four weekly sessions, you'll learn each stage of the pottery process, including throwing, trimming, and glazing. With personalised guidance throughout, you'll gain confidence at the wheel while creating your own unique ceramic pieces.
Over the first two weeks I will show you how to throw the basic cylinder shape and adapt it to make different forms such as a cup and bowl - see images for examples. In the third week I’ll show you how to refine the shape of your thrown pieces by trimming as well as adding handles. During the last class I’ll give you an introduction to how glazing works as well showing you how to finish your pots in the glaze of your choice.
The price of the class includes all materials, glazing and the firing of your pots, so you can come back to pick them up once they are out of the kiln.
Classes will be for 1.5 hours on weekdays (daytime or evening) - I will contact you to arrange the dates and start time of the classes.
