Pottery Class: Weekender Throwing Wheel for Beginners (Afternoon Class)

Regular price
Date & Month:

This afternoon workshop offers an introduction into the first two steps of creating your own ceramic piece on the throwing wheel. Within two sessions in two days you will learn everything you need to know in order to throw and trim a vessel at the wheel. Afterwards we will make sure to take care of the third step and glaze the pieces you made in a food-safe glossy transparent glaze for you.

1. Session: Saturday 2:30pm-5:00pm

Short introduction into the world of clay, followed by a demonstration of how to prepare and center the clay on the wheel as well as how to create a vessel. Afterwards you will have plenty of time to try on your own, guided by one of our teachers

2. Session: Sunday 02:30pm-5:00pm

This day will be all about trimming the pieces you created the day before. You will learn how to refine the shape of your vessel and create different types of foot rings for your creations.

If you would like to learn how to glaze your pieces yourself, please take a look at our three day class: Throwing Wheel for Beginners or if you would prefer a Class in the Morning please find it here: Weekender Throwing Wheel for Beginners (Morning Class).
