Saturday - 2 Hour Lesson

Service Description

Throwing: In a Throwing lesson you will learn to throw cylinders and bowls on the wheel with me! This lesson is suitable for absolutely beginners, up to intermediate more experienced potters. Through the lesson I aim to equip you with the basic throwing skills you need to make almost any shape on the wheel. After a brief introduction and demo you will have the session to practice on the wheel with my support and guidance. My aim is to give you the tools you need to be able to practice throwing on your own. In throwing lessons, one wheel will be available per pair of participants. One person will be at the wheel at a time so that pairs can take turns and learn from each other throughout the session. 1 person £150 / 2 People £250 / Parent & Child (under 16) £190 Handbuilding: Or book a Handbuilding lesson with me and learn to make anything you can dream of with a bag of clay and simple tools.
