How to prepare and centre clay on the pottery wheel
The basics of pulling up and shaping your own forms
How to create and refine your own thrown pieces
Tips and techniques to help you get the best results from your clay
What happens after throwing, including drying, glazing and firing
Your handmade creations will be glazed and fired ready for collection a few weeks after the workshop.
