Beginners - This wheelwork course will have you dip your toe into the muddy bucket of the pottery process!

Partake in the entire process from raw clay to fully functional glazed wares. Skills covered include centring, pulling walls, keeping the top from going wobbly, trimming and glazing.

Intermediates - Observe the approach of a production potter, and let’s see if we can relax into an improved flow and confidence.

Push the clay and your skills to the limits through low stakes throwing drills, every collapsed form giving you feedback and a deeper understanding of clay behaviour.

Skills covered include centring, pulling walls, re-centring wobbly shapes, trimming and glazing.

Course outline:

Week 1 - Throw
Week 2 - Throw
Week 3 - Trim, handles (and throw)
Week 4 - Glaze
