Ever fancied a go at throwing?
About this Event

A 4-week throwing course aimed at those wanting to get to grips with the potters wheel!

Suitable for total beginners or those that have already attended a class and want to improve quickly.

We have a small and intimate studio environment, so you will all have plenty of advice and tips from our pottery tutors. Walk away with a set of glazed mugs and bowls!

The sessions will run from 6pm - 8pm on the following Wednesdays; 13th Nov, 20th Nov, 27th Nov and 4th Dec. Have all your work fired and collected in time for Christmas!

The ticket cost will cover you for all four sessions, including all materials and firings of four or five pots per person.

A clear glaze will be applied to all final pots and they’ll be ready for collection 3 weeks after the session. Your additional pots and glazes can be purchased during the sessions.

Please make sure you can make all the dates as we cannot offer alternatives or refunds.

Week one you'll learn how to centre the clay and throw basic cylinders. We will aim for at least two of your best cylinders to be made into mugs. These will be wrapped and kept until the next week ready for the next stage.

Week two - trimming. You’ll learn how to trim your mugs to make them nice and neat on the base. We'll also cover making basic handles and how to attach them securely.

Week three - bowl forms. We will aim for two bowls each and keep them wrapped up for trimming the following week.

Week four will be trimming and tidying your bowls and any additional decoration.
