Please note this is a SIX part workshop, therefore you will get the most out of this course if you attend all the dates.
In weeks 1 to 5 you will learn to throw on the pottery wheel to create your pieces, and then trim your pieces to perfect them.
This will include a variety of different throwing and trimming techniques.
In week 6 you will be expertly guided through glazing the pieces yourself, using a range of our luxurious studio glazes.
From this series of classes you can expect to receive approximately 10 completed items, which will be ready for collection approximately 4 weeks after the completion of your course.
We keep our classes small to ensure each student gets sufficient time with the tutor, which also means they sell out fast so don’t wait to grab your spot!
We recommend wearing clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty, as wheel work can get a bit messy!
It is also advisable to bring an old towel and apron and bucket.
Please wear closed toe shoes.

All our classes have a minimum number of participants.
If that number is not reached we may cancel the class and provide you with a full refund.
No refunds will be issued in the case of non attendance.
Although the greatest of care is taken with your ceramic works of art, due to the nature of clay we cannot guarantee every piece will survive the firing process.
