Unleash your creativity and master the art of pottery throwing in our hands-on 4-week course in beautiful Barnes. Perfect for beginners or those looking to refine their wheel skills, this structured and supportive course is designed to give you a strong foundation in throwing on the potter’s wheel — from centring clay to shaping your very own functional forms.
Each week, you'll explore essential techniques under the guidance of experienced ceramic tutors. Starting with the basics of preparing clay and learning to centre, you'll gradually progress to throwing cylinders, bowls, and experimenting with form. You'll also be introduced to trimming and finishing techniques to refine your pieces.
In the final session, you’ll learn how to apply slips and glazes, selecting colours and finishes to personalise your work before firing. All tools, materials, and firings are included in the course fee, and you’ll leave with 2-4 finished ceramic pieces to take home and use or gift.
Our Barnes studio is a welcoming and fully equipped space, ideal for small class sizes that ensure personalised attention. Whether you're looking to learn a new craft, unwind creatively, or start a new hobby, this course offers an immersive and inspiring experience in contemporary ceramics.
