T3 Wheelwork with Finn Happ - Intermediate - Thursdays - 6pm to 9pm (July 24th - September 11th) 10 places $400/$440
SORPC Members $400 Non-members $440
Intermediate - Thursday 6-9pm (Adults)
For potters wishing to take their skills to the next level and develop ease, flow, and enjoyment through focused repetition and technique refinement.
This 8 week course will aim to advance your throwing technique. Centring, pulling, and shaping. The emphasis is on repetition and finding flow, confidence, and efficiency at the wheel. By reflecting on your usual habits and relaxing into new flow, this course aims to halve the time it takes to throw a well-formed pot. Ideal for students looking to break through resistance and reconnect to enjoyment in the process.
I focus on tailored teaching to the stage of technical skill you’re at. There will be short bursts of one-on-one time for each person each lesson. I will hope to provide an additional perspective to wheel throwing technique coming from someone with a production throwing background – any shortcuts and ways to make it easier, more fluid and fun. Let’s work on your style!
Learn techniques used by a Studio Potter to create a number of similar looking pieces.
Improve pulling walls of small and large pieces (throwing lines!)
Improve confidence in making a piece quickly.
Improve ability to centre clay small and large.
Understand the importance of safety in the studio and the dangers of Silica dust.
By week 7 we will bisque fire your work and in week 8 we will glaze up to 12 of your creations.
Please bring an apron or old shirt, wear closed in shoes, bring a basic tool set or purchase one from the studio for $10.00. A few plastic bags to cover work are useful.
There will be two bisque/glaze firing cycles during the course. Students will be asked to choose their best 12 pieces to be fired and glazed. Work produced towards the end of the course may not be able to be glazed in time.

Finn is a 3rd generation potter, taught by his father. He started learning how to throw once finishing high school and for the last 5 years has been working fulltime in his Dad’s pottery studio in Quindalup. He has learnt production throwing of pots of all shapes and sizes, but has a greater passion for having fun with curious potters of all skills and abilities. He encourages people to use the humbling craft of ceramics to connect with friends and explore creativity. Having recently moved to Perth for a change of scenery, he enjoys hosting casual classes for beginners and intermediates. His favourite things to make are water bottles, mugs and large dinner bowls.
