Pottery: a taster course in throwing

- Centre clay on the potter’s wheel
- Make functional pieces, such as mugs, jugs or bowls
- Finish forms by turning - for example turning a foot ring on a bowl
- Pull a handle and attach it to your work
- Decorate and finish your work using slips and glazes
- Make a small jar with a fitted lid OR throw using porcelain.

There is a charge of £2.00 per 500g for clay before firing, the porcelain charge is £17.50 per bag/ £8.75 per half bag. There is a communal pottery tool box for all students to use.

This very practical course will start with demonstrations of different techniques each week, with lots of opportunity
for individual work supported by one-to-one advice and tuition. There will also be a presentation of other artists’ work,
handouts and time for group discussion.
