Britain's What's On Event Guide
Discover... Pottery Throwing
Discover… Pottery Throwing is a fun and intensive workshop for adults which concentrates on improving the throwing technique on the potter’s wheel and is suitable for any ability, from complete beginners to those looking to improve existing pottery skills.
The maximum capacity per session is four participants, ensuring tailored help and instruction designed to generally improve throwing technique individually, focussing on areas specifically chosen by each student.
Centring clay, improving cylinder height, bowl technique, throwing plates, making galleries and lids, and throwing bellied forms are all possible subjects of focus.
The emphasis of the workshop is on practice rather than finishing work, but students can choose one piece to be fired, glazed, and collected at a later date, usually 4-6 weeks after the session.
Chris will share his successful approaches and techniques to throwing larger and lighter pots, and mastering the all-important skill of centering of clay on the wheel.
