'Pottery Throw Down!' 6 Week Course

Description

Do you watch the Pottery Throw Down, or ghost, and think: I want to try that! Well, you can with these taster throwing sessions in which you will explore the techniques of throwing on a wheel. During the 6 week course you will learn how to wedge and prepare balls of clay, and then have lots of time to practice the basics of throwing, centring your clay, pulling and then shaping clay to make cylinders and bowls. You will then learn how to trim and make handles, and finally glazing. You will also be taught how to throw a plate plus other forms, such as moon jars and dip and chip plates. Your pieces will be bisque fired, and then you can book to come to a glazing session, after which they will have a final firing - and then you can amaze your friends and family with your own collection of pottery! This course is also suitable for those that have already completed one of our throw down courses, as you will have time to practice and get help from the tutor. £150 per person which includes all materials, two firings, glaze plus refreshments. Timing for each session is 6.00-8.00pm. Once you have completed this course you are welcome to take part in our Clay Club Thursday evening sessions where you can practice slab or throw down. (Aprons are provided but please wear appropriate clothing and take off any jewellery as clay can get very messy). Suitable for adults and older children.
