Pottery Throw Down! 3 week Evening Course

Organised by : Felix & Tabitha

Do you watch the Pottery Throw Down or ghost and think, I want to try that! Well, you can with these taster throwing sessions in which you will explore the techniques of throwing on a wheel.

During the 3 week course (2 weeks teaching and one week to practice) you will learn how to wedge and prepare balls of clay and then have lots of time to practice the basics of throwing, centring your clay, pulling and then shaping clay to make cylinders and bowls. You will then learn how to trim and make handles and finally glazing. You will also be taught how to throw a plate. Your pieces will be bisque fired and then you can book to come to a glazing session, after which they will have a final firing after which you can amaze your friends and family with your own collection of pottery.

£85 per person which includes all materials, two firings, glaze plus refreshments. Timing for each session is 6.00-8.00pm. Once you have completed this course you are welcome to take part in our Clay Club Thursday evening sessions where you can practice slab or throw down.

(Aprons are provided but please wear appropriate clothing and take off any jewellery as clay can very messy.)
