Build upon the foundational skills learned on your beginners course. We will guide you in making your throwing more efficient and build up to working with larger amounts of clay. We will also cover throwing wider forms on batts, pulling handles and manipulating cylinders to achieve more complex shapes.

Suitable for those with at least 12 weeks throwing experience, our intermediate course is designed to really push your making skills. We will focus on intention and control, working through enclosed and split forms, pots with lids, handles and as ever aiming to make your throwing as efficient as possible.
