What to Expect

This workshop is ideal for complete beginners, enthusiastic amateurs, and developing throwers. You will learn new skills, refine essential techniques, and gain confidence working on the wheel. Throwing is a unique and satisfying experience, and we’re here to guide you step-by-step. Like learning to ride a bike, we’ll help you lose the stabilisers quickly – and teach you when you’re ready.

Course Content

Throughout the day we will cover:

• Clay preparation: wedging and handling
• Centering clay on the wheel
• Throwing cylinders (which may become mugs)
• Altering forms to create jugs and vases
• Turning, finishing, handle pulling and attaching
• Decorative techniques (if appropriate to the group)

You’ll also have the chance to work on a variety of electric wheels to discover your personal preference.
