In our 6-week wheel courses you'll get to grips with the entire process of creating pottery on the wheel. Starting with the fundamentals of centering the clay, pulling up walls and experimenting with different shapes and forms, to trimming, adding handles and glazing your pieces in the latter weeks. 

Complete beginners are welcome, as are intermediate level throwers who'd like to hone their skills. 

All of our courses are adaptable and flexible, but we will roughly follow a schedule of:

Week 1: Throwing basics - centering and cylinders
Week 2: Throwing development - go bigger, experiment with different forms
Week 3: Trimming/turning - finishing the pieces we've made so far, as well as adding handles
Week 4: Throwing - Keep developing those skills and experimenting, this the last week to start something new!
Week 5: Trimming/turning - finishing all our pieces, as well as adding handles, decorating with slips or carving in texture
Week 6: Glazing 

All use of clay, tools, equipment and firing is included in your booking price. It's difficult to say exactly how many pieces can be made within the course, but most students have 5-10 pieces to come back and pick up, 2 weeks after the course ends.
