About this Event
Start your pottery journey at Creative Bloc with a wheel throwing taster session!
Try out the basic techniques that will allow you to create your first small pot on the potters wheel with guidance from an experienced tutor.
Suitable for complete beginners (ages 16+). Whether you're looking to test the water before enrolling in a full course or you're just looking for a fun weekend activity to enjoy with a friend, this is a great introduction to making ceramics.
We will start with a demonstration and then you will have the opportunity to practice with unlimited clay before choosing your favourite pot* at the end of the session for us to trim, glaze and fire for you. The last 10mins of the class is reserved for cleaning up, making your pot selection and taking pictures. Collection is approximately 3 weeks after the class.
Wheel throwing is messy work, please wear clothes you don't mind getting clay on (it washes out). Short sleeves or sleeves you can roll up are recommended.
*We recycle the remainder of the clay but if you wish to keep more than one pot there is an additional £10 fee per pot for glazing and firing.
