In this 2 x weekend introductory course you will learn how to make a small vessel, such as a bowl, a mug or vase (or something in between) on a potter's wheel.
Weekend 1: Meet the clay. During the first 2 days I show you how to handle clay, give you an introduction into preparing (weding) and throwing basic forms on the potter's wheel. You have then time to experiment and practise yourself under my guidance.
Weekend 2: Shaping (trimming) the pieces you made the previous weekend, attaching handles and adding your very own style to your pieces through coloured slip/underglaze and carvings.
Your work will then be fired and glazed with transparent glaze and ready for pick up in 4 - 5 weeks' time after the course.
