During this 4 week course, our tutor and head technician Lucy Turner will guide you through the next stage of your throwing journey.
This course is aimed at students who have completed our Beginners Plus course or an equivalent course elsewhere (approx. 8 weeks of throwing experience). You must have some knowledge of how to wedge and prepare clay, centre and be confident in throwing basic shapes.
The aim of the course is for you to confidently throw larger, more consistent shapes that are more directed and perfected. You will be introduced to the following:
- Throwing larger forms
- Enclosed and split shapes
- Lidded jars, or pots with 2+ parts
- Handle pulling refresher
- Trimming with chucks
Sessions are 3 hours long, running from 6 – 9pm, with 15 minutes at the end reserved for clean up.
A fifth session will be arranged around a month after your course for you to glaze your pieces. This, as well as all materials and firing costs are included in the course price.
There is an opportunity for extra practice on Tuesdays from 10am-3pm at no additional cost (subject to availability).
Throwing is a craft that takes practice, patience, and persistence, we believe everyone can attain these skills. Our courses are for a maximum of 5 students, meaning you get plenty of attention from your tutor.
Please contact us with any queries, We look forward to having you!
