In week 2 and 3you'll have the opportunity to throw up to 8 pieces on the wheel, with firing and glazing included in the course fees.
Week 4 and 5will focus on trimming your pieces on the wheel and learning how to make and attach handles. Finally, in week 6 you'll learn the art of glazing with the option to explore dip glazes, brush-on glazes, or painting your pottery with underglazes. We encourage your creative freedom.
Once the course finishes, your pieces will be ready to collect 2-3 weeks later. Please note that due to the set dates and times of our courses, cancellation of a class cannot be rescheduled.
