This 4-week course is designed for those who have completed our Intro to pottery course within the last 8 weeks. 

You will come to the studio on Wednesday evenings for 2 hours per week (18:00–20:00). 

This course focuses entirely on developing your wheel-throwing skills, helping you build confidence, consistency, and control when working on the wheel. You’ll revisit core techniques such as centring and pulling, before progressing to creating cylinders, bowls, and simple forms.

By the end of the course, you can expect to have made a small collection of functional pieces such as cups, beakers, and bowls. You will refine your technique, improve your understanding of form, and feel more confident working independently on the wheel.

This course is a great next step before continuing with our Monday Continued Practice course or Studio Access sessions.

Expect a relaxed, supportive atmosphere with plenty of time for repetition and experimentation.

Whilst everyone works at their own pace, with guidance, generally, we will follow the schedule as below:
Week 1, 15th April: Refreshing core skills
Week 2, 22nd April: Developing height and control
Week 3, 29th April: Throwing bowls
Week 4, 6th May: Finishing and refining

If you're not able to attend a scheduled session which you know about at the time of booking, you may be able to attend the studio another evening at a suitable time.

All materials provided.

Other info:
Ceramics can be surprisingly physical. You will need a reasonable amount of dexterity in your hands, as well as good grip strength. If you have any questions or uncertainties about this, please get in touch before booking.
Courses are for ages 16+, although I'm working on options for the young creatives!
Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
The studio can be cold in cooler weather. There are heaters but please dress accordingly.
For anything not glazed in the final session (including work not yet through it's first firing), you will pick one of the studio glazes and studio staff will glaze work for you. Alternatively, you can book a Studio Access session to do this yourself (cost applies).
Once glazed and fired after your final session, items will be available to collect from the workshop location. This usually takes 2 weeks but await an email from me with further information.
Finished items will be kept for 14 days and disposed of if not collected. This is due to having limited space within the studio, with my own and students' work added at all times. Items will be held over studio closure periods.
Once a course has been purchased, I will email you prior to the session with additional information.
