In this 2 week short introductory course you will learn how to make a small vessel, such as a bowl or vase (or something in between) on a potter's wheel.
Class 1: Meet the clay, wedging and throwing a basic form. Class 2: Trimming the piece and adding your very own style to it through coloured slip/underglaze and carvings.
Your piece will then be fired and glazed with transparent glaze and ready for pick up in 4 - 5 weeks' time after the course.
This course is aimed at complete beginners. Maximum of 4 students.
2 kg of clay, glaze, all materials and firings are included. More clay can be purchased as we go.
