Developmental Throwing Course
This course is aimed at those who have some previous experience with pottery and wish to enhance their wheel-throwing techniques. It is especially ideal for students who have already completed our one-day pottery course and would like to progress further. The course provides an intensive day on the wheel building on skills and techniques enabling them to gain confidence on the wheel and enabling participants to move on to the next stage of their practice.
Throughout the day, you will learn how to achieve more height in the pots you throw, and develop more complex forms. The curriculum includes creating more advanced shapes, forming spouts, and learning the art of making lidded vessels.
As with our one-day pottery courses, tea and cake in the morning and a two course lunch cooked by a chef is included in the price. Furthermore we will fire and finish either one large pot (weighing up to 1.5 kilos) or three smaller pots (each up to 500 grams) for you. These can be collected a month after the course, once they have been fired and finished.
