In this fun introductory class, you will become familiar with the potter's wheel and experience what it’s like to try your hand at throwing.
You will begin by weighing your clay balls, then watch a demonstration to learn the techniques needed to ‘center’ your clay and ‘pull’ up the walls of your pots. Sitting down at your own dedicated potter's wheel, you’ll get hands-on experience throwing cylinders, bowls and different forms as lemon squeezer and candle holder guided by your instructor’s expertise.
Expect a messy, challenging, but rewarding experience!
This class is a perfect introduction to determine if pottery is your passion for longer courses, or simply a delightful way to have fun with this incredible medium. Each class accommodates a maximum of six attendees, ensuring personalised attention with your own wheel.
You will be able to keep 3 pots that I will trim, fire, and glaze for you. Additional pots can be kept for £5 each.
All materials and tools will be provided.
This one-off taster class runs between 10:30AM and 16:30PM on Saturday 14th of June 2025.
