Evening Throwing Course • Altered Forms
For those of you who feel comfortable with the fundamentals of throwing on the wheel, and would like to explore more considered shapes ––– we invite you to join Altered Forms.
This relaxed and intimate six week evening course has been designed to offer you the space to explore your own personal expression and style through projects that encourage creativity whilst teaching you how to achieve more complex forms and surfaces in your work.
With attentive guidance, you can spend more time honing your throwing skills, experimenting with throwing more complex shapes and larger weights of clay, and then further explore, based on your interests: creating more complex forms and additions including vases, water vessels, spouts; adding handles for mugs, jugs and pitchers; carving for functionality (colanders, strainers, candle holders) and surface decoration (fluting, textures, additional of other clays); working with slips; and finishing and refining your work.
You will be one of four people in this class. To offer you maximum support, we will never have more than four in our throwing classes and you will always have your own, dedicated wheel and a quiet space to practice.
Dates and Timings
The workshop will run across the same evening (Mondays) for six consecutive weeks, from 18.45 – 20.45
Winter Course • 6 Jan, 13 Jan, 20 Jan, 3 Feb and 10 Feb
Spring Course • 24 Feb, 3 Mar, 10 Mar, 17 Mar, 24 Mar and 31 Mar
Included
This course includes the use of our house clay, a warm toasted buff brown. Should you wish to work in other clays (white, Vulcan black, or flecked stoneware), they are available to purchase as an extra – please get in touch for pricing and we will gladly provide in advance.
Included is a shelf shelf space of firing volume of W35cm x H15cm (enough to fit six generous mug-sized pieces). Additional pieces (such as any taller pieces) will be priced for firing on demand for a nominal fee to cover firings costs.
Workshop Notes
Each session is two hours – but we’ll allow for ten minutes at the end to clean down your workstation.
This series is aimed at those with a little more experience, however if it speaks to you and you are just starting out, we’ll support you to work at your level. Just get in touch if you have any questions.
Please bring an apron and old tea towel, and consider cutting your nails short for throwing sessions.
