10 Weeks of Improving Your Skills | Wednesday evening | Starts 30/09

10 Weeks of Improving Your Skills

Have you already explored the basics of pottery and want to continue developing your skills? Over 10 weeks, you’ll refine your techniques, experiment with form and finish, and build the confidence to create with more freedom and intention on the wheel.

🌀 What will you learn?

Throwing with intention

Learn how to throw the shapes you envision, rather than simply following what your hands naturally create. You'll work step by step towards making the set of mugs, bowls, or plates you've always wanted for your home.

Creating a matching set

Discover practical techniques for throwing multiple pieces that match in size and shape. Measuring is key! While this isn't a production pottery course, it's the perfect introduction to creating a beautiful, cohesive set.

Throwing larger pieces

Learn a new centering technique that allows you to work with more clay on the wheel, giving you the confidence to create larger forms.

Exploring new forms

Depending on the interests of the group, we'll explore a variety of new shapes, such as plates, serving bowls, platters, citrus juicers, and other functional yet creative pieces.

Tailored to the group

The course is adapted to the interests and skill levels of the participants, ensuring everyone receives the right balance of guidance and challenge.

Technique & creativity

You'll receive focused technical instruction while also having plenty of room to experiment, explore, and develop your own personal style.

Finishing your work

During the final two classes, you'll glaze your favourite pieces and give them their finishing touches.

By the end of the course, you'll take home a collection of unique, handcrafted ceramics that are not only functional but also a true reflection of your personal style.
