Over the 4 lessons you will learn two hand-building techniques and you will get to try throwing on the potters wheel. You will also learn how to tidy the bases of your thrown pot. You will be shown multiple decoration techniques, and finally how to glaze your work. These classes are fun and friendly, and a give a good taster of both hand-building and throwing.
We will teach you a construction technique like pinch pots, and you then choose what you would like to make, like a mug, small vase or pot, or something decorative like an owl. We will show you different decorative techniques to add design, pattern and texture to your work.
