THROWING TASTER  
Bowl, Cup & Pourer  
£80

What will I learn?

In this taster workshop, you will be taught the fundamental techniques of throwing on the potter’s wheel, which include wedging, centring, pulling up and forming the clay with your hands and tools. Through expert demonstration and personalised guidance, you will be supported to create a bowl, cup and pourer. This immersive workshop will give you an authentic experience of learning the craft of pottery in a fully creative and supportive environment. To complete the set of three objects, you will choose your own colour scheme from a selection of the studio’s glazes. 

​​

Who is this class for?

All levels of ability are welcome. This workshop is a great introduction to throwing while also giving students with more experience opportunities to build on their existing skills. The session is suitable for adults of 18 years and above.

   

What will I take home?

On this course you will make three pots to have glazed and fired in the kiln. Your pottery will be ready to collect from the studio three weeks later.

What does the price of this course include? 

You will be taught in Rachel Cox’s modern studio with the latest ceramic tools and equipment in a small group of up to three students. Small groups ensure greater individual focus from your teacher and higher levels of student and teacher group engagement. You will have access to a range of clays, slips and glazes and an apron will be provided. Your pottery will be fired twice in an electric kiln up to temperatures of 1260 degrees. There is a bike lock up and private parking onsite available to students.
