4 Week Wheel Throwing Course

Sundays June & July



4 x 2 hours Class size 4 guests       £195 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

On this four week course you will learn skills in throwing on the potters' wheel to make a collection of mugs, bowls, jugs and vases. You will also have the opportunity to explore surface decoration techniques using coloured slips, texturing tools and carving. Sessions are taught through demonstration and one to one tuition with plenty of time for practice and experimentation. Over four weeks you will learn to discover and explore your own creative abilities through the expression of clay.
All levels of ability are welcome. This course is a great introduction to wheel throwing while also giving students with more experience opportunities to build on their existing skills. The sessions are suitable for adults of 18 years and above.
What you'll get
On this course you will choose your best six pieces to glaze and fire in the kiln. Your work will be ready for collection from the studio three weeks after our last session.
​
You will be taught in Rachel Cox’s modern studio with the latest ceramic tools and equipment in a small group of up to four students. Small groups ensure greater individual focus from your teacher and higher levels of student and teacher group engagement. You will have access to a range of materials, which will be charged at an additional cost. Your work will be weighed before it goes into the kiln and priced at £5.00 per kg, which includes the cost of clay, slip, glaze and two firings in an electric kiln up to temperatures of 1260 degrees. An apron will be provided by the studio. There is also a bike lock up and private parking onsite available to students.
Knowledge required
No previous experience required.
What to bring
The studio will provide you with an apron, however clay is an inherently messy material so please wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit dusty. We also ask for long hair to be tied back and long nails to be cut.
