In this 8-week course, you can expand and deepen your knowledge and skills in working on the potter's wheel. The course is ideal for anyone who has already completed an introductory course and is familiar with the basics of pottery.
Content
Kneading techniques:
Learn the different kneading techniques from the ox head to the spiral kneading technique, as well as marbling techniques, to give your clay a unique touch.
Competences on the wheel:
We will focus on all the individual steps involved in working on the wheel: centering, lifting, shaping and later shaping by trimming and glazing. Jacob will share useful tips and tricks with you to develop your pottery skills. We will also cover how to handle larger quantities of clay (1-3 kg): for example, how to make larger bowls and closed shapes, including vases and bottles.
Understanding the kiln:
Gain insight into firing curves and how to set up the kiln, which is crucial for the final stages of your clay work.
Personalized learning style:
This course is about you and your personal approach to clay. Whether you have a project in mind or want to improve your skills, we will work together to achieve your goals.
The first 2 kg of finished pieces are included in the course price. The firing costs after the first 2 kilos are €15.00 per kg for finished pieces. You don't have to bring anything with you, but you can wear clothes that can get dusty. We have aprons. Clay can be easily washed out of clothing. Glazes and tools are freely available in the studio. Maximum 10 participants.
If you miss a session, that's no problem. All missed lessons can be made up free of charge and during our opening hours if you have sufficient basic knowledge (have attended at least 2 sessions) in rami Co-Making (unsupervised studio). Of course, this also applies after completing the course.
When you book your course, you will also receive 3 free studio hours for independent practice. You will receive the cards for this from Jacob in the first session.
