Throwing Demo

Throwing Demo

We will demonstrate each step of throwing a piece - centering, opening and pulling the clay up to form a cylinder. We invite questions throughout - there's a lot to take in, so the more questions the better!


Your turn

Your Turn

Each participant will have their own wheel and use prepared clay to throw their pieces. We will guide you as you go and help whenever needed to throw a pot or two. Each throwing station is equipped with everything you need, including tools, towels, a throwing guide and a mirror for perspective.


Finishing

Finishing

We will trim and finish your pots after they've dryed. We'll glaze your pieces with clear or white glaze and glaze-fire them.


Ready!

The whole process takes 4 - 6 weeks.

When your pots have been through all the finishing and firing, we'll contact you and arrange a time for you to collect your pieces.
