Being able to create a balanced form on the wheel is the essence of good ceramics. This course will be tailored to each participant’s level of experience and skill level.

  • Beginners will learn the basics of wedging clay, centering on the wheel, throwing basic cylinders and refining the cylinder shape to bowls or mugs. If needed, handles will be created and applied.

Completed work will be glazed.

  • ‘Improvers’ will build on their basic skills including revisiting the basic cylinder, working with larger amounts of clay, creating flatter bowls and some work with coils. You will be challenged to introduce new shapes to your repertoire and refine decorative rims.

  • Intermediate level participants will have the opportunity to explore new shapes of their choice with expert guidance. Thrown forms can be enhanced with coils or slab built additions. Bring along your imagination!

Robert was inspired to start making pottery when living in South Africa and seeing the work of Donve Branch. After taking his first lesson he was hooked, and ceramics is now one of his passions in life.

He loves turning earthenware, constantly pushing the boundaries - refining the size and shapes of the pots he produces. He is inspired by Chinese and Japanese shapes and forms. He has studied with a wide range of teachers including Cher Shackleton, Stewart Scambler and Jackie Masters .

Robert is currently teaching at Potteroo and Andrew Tremain Ceramics He has shown his work at many group exhibitions and at a dual exhibition in Northbridge.
