A hands-on introduction to throwing pottery on the wheel. Designed for beginners and improvers alike, this class can be adapted to suit your specific needs and abilities.
These one-to-one / one-to-two sessions are centred around learning the key processes and fundamentals of throwing pots on the wheel. Following a demonstration by myself, potter and founder of Calico Collective, you will be guided through each stage of the process with ample support.
We will cover:
  • Getting comfortable on the wheel
  • Clay preparation
  • Useful tools
  • Centring
  • Pulling walls
  • Refining shapes
  • Removing the piece from the wheel
The joy of teaching 1-1 / 1-2 classes is that you will have my undivided attention throughout, meaning we can adapt the session to suit your abilities and tailor it to what you’d like to learn.
Please note: We have one pottery wheel - you will take it in turns to throw if you come as a pair!
Location: Churchgate Mill, Lavenders Brow, Stockport SK1 1YW
Duration: Approximately 2 hours
What’s included: Materials (including one pot to be trimmed, glazed, and fired in your choice of colour), aprons, refreshments, and nibbles. You are welcome to bring a bottle or extra snacks.
Please note that we share the space with two other ceramicists, who may be present during your session.
