Pottery: Improve Your Throwing

This course is designed for anyone who has some experience throwing and turning pots on the wheel. You should already be able to centre your own clay to join this course. If you want to refresh, consolidate or develop your technique, then this course is for you. The tuition will be tailored to your current skills and where you want to develop right now, whether that's simply practising and mastering the basic shapes like bowls and cylinders, expanding into more complex forms like double-walled vessels and bottle necks, or scaling up to larger amounts of clay. Perhaps it's how to get better refinement within the turning, adding handles, and the glazing process that you're most interested in - all of that will be covered too. You will spend the first few weeks throwing, followed by a week of turning and refining your pots. You will choose your best pots to put through for firing. The following week, you will glaze them yourself in a mix of any of our beautiful glazes.
