This is a-day course designed to teach and enhance throwing skills on the pottery wheel. It is suitable for individuals who already possess some experience on the wheel and have access to a pottery wheel to continue their practice after the course. Throughout the session, I will guide you on how to effectively work with the clay, enabling you to throw thinner and taller pieces with greater ease. The class size is small to ensure that each participant receives ample attention and assistance on their own specific needs and areas for improvement. If there is a particular shape or skill that you would like to cover during the course, please let me know in advance via email. I am happy to answer any questions you have about glazing, firing, and studio maintenance throughout the day, too. This is a throwing only course; you can select 3 pieces to keep, which I will turn and glaze for you. They will be ready for collection—or shipped at an additional cost—approximately 3 to 4 weeks later.

Classes are from 10am to 4pm and include a light lunch for participants. Class size 4 people.

I will provide tools, a good quality clay and aprons. Wear something that enables you to sit around the pottery wheel comfortably and roll your sleeves up to your elbows. A layer that keeps your body warm and arms free is good to have.
