Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your skills – our pottery wheel course invites you to rediscover form, material, and expression over five consecutive evenings, plus a glazing session.
For beginners and advanced participants No prior knowledge required. Our course is open to both beginners and those with experience. With individual guidance, you'll learn to work with clay – intuitively, precisely, and at your own pace.
Over five evenings, we'll focus on wheel-throwing – from your first touch of clay to a finished, fired piece:
Evening 1 – Mon, Aug 25: Discussion of desired projects & introduction to wheel-throwing
Evening 2 – Tue, Aug 26: Trimming first pieces, developing your own shapes, handle options
Evening 4 – Thu, Aug 28: Trimming, handle options, throwing from a bat, centering larger amounts of clay; depending on skill: lids, decoration techniques
Evening 5 – Fri, Aug 29: Finishing pieces, free practice, time for specific questions
Glazing Session – Sun, Sept 21: Glazing your pieces
Glazes and tools are freely available in the studio. The course price includes the first 2 kg of fired pieces and clay. After that, firing costs are €15.00/kg for finished pieces. You don’t need to bring anything – except maybe an old T-shirt or apron (though clay is easy to wash out of clothes).
