This 6-week pottery course is perfect for beginners with no previous experience on the potter’s wheel. They’re private 1:1 or 1:2 two hour sessions, so you’ll have my undivided attention!<\/p>\n
You will learn the whole process behind making a pot on the wheel, from centering the clay, pulling walls, trimming, adding handles and spouts, and glazing.<\/p>\n
Course structure:<\/p>\n
Week 1: throwing – learning the basics; centering, opening the clay up, and pulling the walls.<\/p>\n
Week 2: throwing – we’ll aim to make some mug and jug shapes!<\/p>\n
Week 3: trimming & attachments – recentering your pots on the wheel, neatening up and shaping the base of your pots, attaching handles to your mugs and jugs<\/p>\n
Week 4: throwing – here we continue practising throwing, we can even have a go at other shapes, such as spoon rests & candlestick holders<\/p>\n
Week 5: trimming – finishing up any pots left over from weeks 1 & 2, plus new pots made in week 4<\/p>\n
Week 6: glazing – decorating your pots in a multitude of colours!<\/p>\n
There is no limit on the number of pieces you can keep, so whatever you make will be yours to take home forever at the end of the course (: Your pots will be food-safe, so you can use them in your day-to-day life!<\/p>\n
