Throwing Taster

In this session, you will work with one of our expert tutors and learn about throwing on the potters wheel.

After an introductory demonstration, you will have a go at throwing and will create one or two pots in the process.

All materials including tools and clay are included in the cost of this workshop. Two of your pots will also be fired for you to collect from the pottery studio at a later date.

This course is perfect for beginners who would like to learn more about throwing and get some hands on experience in a small group setting.

Please bring your own apron.
