Who is the class for?
Beginner potters, or you may have done a few classes but would like individual time, and anyone who has attended the taster class. 

​

What you'll learn Wheel-Throwing

You'll be practising cylinder forms, bowls, plates - as a vehicle for showing you some of the principles of throwing. You will also learn to turn/trim your pots.  We will go at your pace, and focus on the things you'd like to throw so that you can gain confidence and practical throwing skills.  

​

The course is designed to improve and expand your skills on the wheel, rather than to accumulate pots!  However there is the option to have your pots glazed & fired, see below.  

​

What you'll learn Hand building

You can continue learning the various hand building methods: pinch pottery, coil building, and slab building.  You can choose what you'd like to focus on in order to create various different types of vessels or art pieces.

​

All in a supportive and fun environment.

 

What’s included:
All materials using stoneware clay, tools, equipment.  You can also use coloured slips to decorate your pieces.
Tea/coffee.

 

Date: A range of dates are available to suit you, from weekdays, evenings or weekends, email to dicuss a time preference and book your slot.

Your first pot is included, additional pots are £5 each.  Alternatively you can come back for an extra session to learn how to glaze your pots.

Some suggestions for you:
 

  • You may want to bring your own apron. You’re welcome to do this, but we do have one for you to use. 

  • Wear clothes you don't mind getting splashed - all materials wash out easily though.

  • It's easier to throw if you have short fingernails - longer nails get in the way of your enjoyment!
