Working with an increased volume of clay introduces new challenges—centering becomes more demanding, walls require greater consistency, and maintaining structural integrity is key. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice, you’ll build the confidence and techniques needed to scale up your work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1252\" data-start=\"769\"\u003eDepending on your individual experience, you’ll refine your throwing skills while exploring wider forms such as plates, platters, and oven dishes. Emphasis will be placed on even compression, controlling clay distribution, and preventing common issues like warping or cracking in larger pieces. By the end of the course, you’ll have a stronger understanding of how to approach larger-scale functional forms and a toolkit of techniques to continue developing your work on the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"6104\" data-start=\"6004\"\u003eUp to four pieces can be fired at no additional cost, with a glazing session to follow in 5–6 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge: \u003c\/b\u003e13+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocation:\u003c\/b\u003e 127 High Street, Henley-in-Arden B955AU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass Times: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003eThe course meets Saturday 15th August, 12:30-3:30 pm and Sunday 16th August 9:30 am -12:30 pm. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat to bring: \u003c\/b\u003eAll tools and aprons are provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat to wear: \u003c\/b\u003e Clay is messy, so we encourage casual dress when possible.  The stoneware clay used in this class will brush or wash off of most fabrics relatively easily.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccessibility: \u003c\/b\u003eWe pride ourselves in being accessible.  We have a ramped entrance for those with limited mobility and a ground floor toilet.  All of our pottery wheels can be operated by hand or foot.  We encourage you to contact us to discuss your specific needs prior to booking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Old Bank Pottery Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56691565822276,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/5269\/7668\/files\/dreamstime_m_274279_daaf1001-a52b-44c3-89fe-7aa3f9998f5e.jpg?v=1776875327","url":"https:\/\/theoldbankpotterystudio.com\/products\/wheel-throwing-103-scaling-up-august-weekend-intensive","provider":"The Old Bank Pottery Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
