If you’ve always wanted to throw clay on a wheel, this workshop is for you! You will have 3 hours to master your throwing skills and choose your 3 best outcomes to be fired! I will then trim the bases for you (this has to be done when the clay has dried out to leather hard), then bisque fire your pots, dip them in a glaze of your choice (2 to choose from), and finally refire your work.
All work is fired to stoneware temperature meaning your pottery will be food safe, microwave/ dishwasher/ oven safe as well as outdoors safe for plant pots. Work will be available to be picked up in around 6 weeks (needs a lot of drying time) or can be posted to you if you live further afield.
Where:
South Hooe Studio PL20 7BW
Class size:
4 students so you will have a wheel each.
Who is it aimed at?:
Adult complete beginners as well as those who have done some throwing before. Age restriction of 15+. Not suitable for children.
What can you make?:
Anything you like! Small items are easiest for beginners, such as sugar bowls, egg cups, soap dishes, light pulls, lemon juicers, candle holders and, of course, pots!
Included in price:
All tuition, equipment, materials, your work fired in the kiln and glazed, and tea/coffee and biscuits.
What to wear:
Clothes you don’t mind being covered in clay! Closed-toe shoes. Preferably no long or acrylic fingernails.
What to bring:
Hair band for long hair. Optional hand moisturiser as the clay can be drying.
Please make note of when and where you have booked your workshop. There is no reminder email!
