For both newbies and those who've got some skills already, you'll get into everything from wheel throwing to the finer points of trimming and glazing your pots. This course is run over 4 consecutive Friday afternoons, 1:30pm - 4:30pm.
In Session 1, you'll jump right into the basics, like centring your clay, opening it up, and pulling up the walls of your pot. This week is all about simply gaining confidence in handling the clay and where your pottery journey really starts. Get ready to get your hands dirty and master those essential skills.
Session 2 is where you'll really start to fine-tune everything you've learned. With some hands-on help, you'll work on perfecting your techniques and making your pots look even cooler.
In Session 3, you'll learn how to trim your pots to make them look and function even better. This session is all about those little details that grow your beginners' skills to the next stage. You'll get tips on trimming that will make your pots look polished and professional.
Finally, in Session 4, you'll be introduced to glazing your creations. This is where it all comes together as you use different glazing techniques to add colour, texture, and a protective finish to your pots. By the end, your pots will be ready to use or display, and they’ll look amazing.
Come and get creative, enjoy a supportive vibe with fellow pottery enthusiasts and the best instruction. Whether you're just starting or looking to level up, this workshop will help you grow as a potter and artist. After the 4-week course, you will be offered a membership should you wish to join us on a more permanent basis to grow your skills further and if not you have some fab new skills under your belt and work to take home that you can be proud of....
