Designed for complete beginners, this hands-on 5-week course will introduce you to the basics of throwing, helping you build skills and confidence as you get to grips with the wheel.
Guided by our tutor Rachel, you'll work through each stage of the process, from preparing and centring your clay to shaping, trimming and glazing your finished pieces. There's plenty of time for practice, with expert guidance and tips along the way.
You'll learn:
How to prepare and centre your clay on the pottery wheel
The basics of pulling up the walls and shaping your first pots
Trimming and refining your pieces once they've firmed up
How to glaze your pots and prepare them for firing
By the end of the course, you'll have a better understanding of the throwing process, some new skills under your belt and a collection of handmade pots to be proud of. Your finished pieces will be ready to collect a few weeks after the final class.
