Always fancied trying out a throwing wheel? Join us for a pottery course in Glasgow! Learn brand new skills and create your own pots, bowls and cups from scratch to take home with you.
You don't need any prior experience to come along -- you'll be guided through all aspects of pottery week by week, with plenty of time to get creative and experiment in a supportive environment. A great choice for anyone looking for fun things to do in Glasgow!
What to expect:
  • Week 1: Learn how to centre clay on the wheel and create a basic straight-sided pot.
  • Week 2: Continue to practice throwing and learn how to make bowl shapes.
  • Week 3: Trim some of the pots that we have thrown in the previous weeks, so they have neat bases and are ready to be fired -- plus making handles!
  • Week 4: Glaze the pots as they will have been fired once. They will then be ready to collect from the Art Space in a few weeks' time!
By the end of the course, you’ll have a selection of your own handmade ceramic pieces, such as cups, bowls, or pots, that are fully glazed and professionally fired, ready to use and collect after the final firing. You’ll also leave with a solid introduction to pottery wheel-throwing techniques and confidence using the wheel.
What you'll get
  • Your selection of handmade pieces to take home!
  • A great introduction into wheel-throwing techniques.
  • All clay, tools and aprons will be provided.
Knowledge required

What to bring
  • Please wear something you don't mind getting a bit messy!
