About the event
Learn the basics on the pottery wheel from preparing clay, learning to center and glazing your pieces. This is a structured 6 week course, specifically targeted at learning at your pace, clay is not a medium to be rushed it takes time and lots of practice. You will focus on correct skill development, this class is not about the quantity of pieces you come out with, we focus on quality and learning. You will have instruction from 2 experienced facilitators for the the first 2 classes to get everyone going, the 4 remaing classes will be with just one facilitator.
Facilitator TBC.
Return students will be finessing and extending their skills and will be given direction to extend on skills.
Initial 6 week block will focus on cylinders, cups/handles and bowls.
ALL MATERIALS AND FIRING INCLUDED.
New students will be focusing on
Week 1 - Practice, practice, practice. We do not keep anything made from this class.
Week 2- Cylinders and more cylinders, because we want to get it right.
Week 3- Turning feet and adding handles
Week 4- Small bowls
Week 5- Turning bowls and some finessing of previous work
Week 6- Glazing
Returning Students projects will extend in the following projects
Flatware
Lidded Vessels
Larger bowls/vessels/flatware
Teapots
You will pick 6-8 pieces per class to glaze and fire, we are conscious of our resources and will recycle clay pieces that dont make the cut, so you will need to choose.
With only 8 students per class it is perfect to hone your skills and get the basics right.
PLEASE BOOK WISELY! I will be unable to refund any cancellations, you can transfer your ticket to a friend. To avoid disappointment please do not ask for a refund, please understand that a facilitator is being paid with other outgoings and numbers (your booked spot) is required to keep my little business afloat.
Thanks for understanding.
