This course takes place over six weeks.

Each class runs for 2 1/2 hours.

During the course you will learn how to,  “wedge”/prepare the clay for throwing and throw pots on the potter’s wheel.

On the wheel, you will learn centering, then methods to make vessels.  You will also learn “turning”, the process of tidying up the base of your pots.

You will learn about surface decoration using coloured slips and various glazing techniques.

Throughout the course you will also learn “good studio practice”, the art of keeping your work area as clean/tidy as possible, thus, benefiting everyone.
