10 weeks throwing class by Szabina Lócki

Explore the art of ceramics and learn how to use the throwing wheel to create and glaze your own pottery on this ten evening throwing course. This hands-on course is designed for beginners who want to learn the basics of wheel throwing in a focused and supportive setting. Over ten weeks, you’ll get a step-by-step introduction to working with clay on the wheel. Starting with centring and shaping simple cylinders, you will then progress to trimming and adding details such as handles and spouts, as well as exploring both closed and open forms. After a bisque firing, you will glaze your pieces and prepare them for their final firing on the final afternoon. No prior experience is required. The course is held in small groups, allowing for plenty of personal guidance and time to explore your creativity. By the end, you’ll have gained both technical skills and your own unique ceramic creations to take home. Who can join? The course is suitable for beginners and those with some experience who would like to improve their throwing technique.
