This is one of our most loved courses. People want to try it with the expectation that it’s relatively easy. Others expect a topless Patrick Swayze to pop in and help out.

WORKSHOP FORMAT
Step 1: Tutor demonstration
We start the workshop with a 10-15 minute tutor demonstration which provides an overview of the different stages involved.
Step 2: hands-on practice and individual practice
(i) Centering basics
Students start with centring basics (an experienced potter is on-hand to quickly correct and support students). Centering is everything and takes practice to master it. Sure jelly blobs in contemporary ceramics has its place but lots of luck trying to drink a cup of tea out of it.
(ii) Throwing a pot
Thankfully not across the room but in fact pulling the clay up before opening it out. Playing with purpose.
FIRING AND GLAZING
We fire and glaze your best two pieces with the surviving pieces ready to use in approximately 4-5 weeks.
COURSE PREPARATION
Handbuild experience is highly recommended prior to wheel thrown pottery but not essential
COURSE SUITABILITY
This is mainly an adult course. Children over 10 are welcome but do need to be accompanied by an adult and have good arm strength.

Jen –
A hugely enjoyable morning! Our teacher, Janette, was knowledgeable and encouraging and provided us superb guidance. We absolutely loved it and it’s given us a “taste” for clay and we plan on doing more pottery in the near future!
Mike J –
Really fun. Enjoyed it a lot.
Not as easy as you might think but we got a couple of good pieces.
