Learn to throw, from centring to a finished piece

This summer, get properly hands-on with the pottery wheel. Our Young Potter's Wheel Throwing Intensive Course runs as two separate 3-session courses, each covering the full process — from wedging and centring to shaping, trimming, and decorating. 

Choose one or both courses:

Each course (3 sessions × 2 hours):

• Session 1 – new students will learn to centre, open up, and pulling up walls with instructor guidance; repeat students will continue to practice with less guidance
• Session 2 – all students will practice centring, opening up, and pulling up walls with greater independence; introduction to turning pots (carving a foot, taking off excess clay) for new students.
• Session 3 - turning, trimming and decorating all pots created in session 1/2.

Course includes up to 4-pieces fired and glazed; additional pieces £5 per piece. We can glaze the pots or students can return for an assisted glazing session where they can choose their own colours for an additional fee (£25 per session).

Price: £179 per 3-session/6-hour intensive

No experience needed to join the course and each course is self-contained, so you can join any single course or come back for more.
