About this Event

You are booking a two day workshop:

Saturday (10.30am to 13.30pm): you'll dive into throwing on the potter's wheel.

Sunday (10.30am to 13.30pm): you'll learn to turn your creations into finished pieces.

This hands-on workshop offers you the unique opportunity to practice and refine your skills under the expert guidance of our Associate Artist, Iris. Beginners will benefit from step-by-step instruction in throwing, while intermediates will receive support to enhance their techniques and confidence. There might even be time to try pulling a handle.
