COURSES

We’ve been running our 6 week pottery courses for over 3 years now.  Here is a breakdown of what we cover with new students:

 

Week 1:  Pinch pots and coiling 

Week 2:  Slab work and hand building 

Week 3:  Throwing on the wheel! 

Week 4:  Turning/Trimming on the wheel 

Week 5:  Finishing off pieces and an introduction to glazing 

Week 6:  Glazing 

 

We also like to encourage students who have some knowledge of clay who come along to their course with “a plan”.   We love being able to facilitate students ideas and goals.  Templates, images and practical considerations are an exciting way to start your 6 weeks.  These can also be discussed with your teacher in advance of the course.  Existing students have free reign in the pottery to carry on their practice be it wheel throwing or hand-building.  We also love demonstrating new techniques for continuing students.
