About the event
Dates: Wednesdays, 29th October - 3rd December 2025, 6pm - 9pm
In this 6 week pottery course, you will ground yourself with a foundation of wheel thrown pottery. You’ll be able to take a ball of mud and throw it into something beautiful and very unique :-). Learn the essential skills of wedging, centering (the most gloriously frustrating, hypnotising process you’ll ever experience), wheel throwing, trimming and decorating. In the final week, we come together for a glazing session to turn our masterpieces into fully functional ceramics.
Projects could include small bowls, tumblers, plant pots, vases and mugs.
During each three-hour lesson you will be guided to discover your personal approach to the art of clay throwing. The final 15 minutes of each class are set aside for cleaning up your wheel and used tools, so that the studio is ready for the next session.
This course is aimed at complete beginners…
