Our Throwing Tasters are relaxed and intimate introductory workshops – for those who have always wanted to see what it is like to throw at the wheel. They are aimed at and suitable for complete beginners, however if you have a little more experience, we’ll work with you at your level.
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.
Each element is so important when you learn to throw, so we will work gently through each step including how to weigh and prepare your clay for throwing, how to centre your clay, use throwing tools, and work towards creating a simple cylindrical shape.
At the end of the session, you will choose your favourite piece to be glazed and fired for you in our transparent studio glaze, or opt to return for a glazing class. Additional pieces can be kept for a nominal fee, to cover the firing costs, but we encourage you to be mindful of our planet and only fire pieces you will truly love and keep.
Each session is two hours – but we’ll allow for ten minutes at the end to clean down your workstation.
Evening workshops take place between 6.45–8.45pm and weekend slots are 11.30am–1.30pm, please check the slot you are booking.
Your final piece will be ready to collect around one month later.
Please bring an apron and old tea towel, and consider cutting your nails short for throwing sessions.
