Learners will take part in this beginners course designed with fixed projects to explore the main ways of throwing and pottery wheel work.
During this course learners will receive a good basic technical grounding in throwing and turning techniques as well as ceramic glazing practices using materials supplied and their own tools.
Each term will have different projects planned allowing learners to enrol in more than 1 term to enhance their skills.
The course fee includes costs of materials (clay, slip, glaze and firing) for items made per the course curriculum.
Before you enrol in a wheel throwing class consider the following points –
– Can I sit comfortably at a pottery wheel?
– Can I use my hands and fingers well enough to begin to practice and learn wheel throwing or do I have arthritis or a condition or injury that could make this difficult?
– Have an open mindset, be kind to yourself, be prepared to get a bit messy and be prepared to collapse a few pots.
– You will be learning about posture, cognitive thinking while using both hands and fingers and controlling the speed of the wheel at the same time, this takes patience and practice.
– By the end of the term you will be just beginning on your wheel throwing journey and have a few pots made to take home.
If you wish to continue on your wheel throwing journey check available spaces below and enrol early for the next term to avoid disappointment.
