Our three-day course gives both beginners and experienced potters the chance to focus on developing and refining their throwing skills.

For our beginners we will take you through the basic techniques of throwing on the wheel. On the first morning, you’ll focus on getting comfortable with the pottery wheel by learning the basics of throwing cylinders. In the afternoon, you’ll progress to throwing bowls. The second day will be dedicated to refining your throwing skills, with your instructor assisting you as you work on more personalised projects. On the final day, you’ll finish your pieces by trimming, attaching handles, and decorating them with coloured slips if you wish.

If you’re at an intermediate level, you’ll have the opportunity to work with larger amounts of clay and attempt more challenging shapes. If this applies to you, please discuss your goals and experience with your teacher at the start of the workshop.

We are now offering the option of returning to the studio 1 week (minimum) after your workshop to glaze your own pieces in a selection of our 10 house glazes. These sessions will take place under the guidance of one of our experienced instructors. You can book your glaze add on session here.
