Lots of POT THROWING in this HALF DAY workshop for BEGINNERS or IMPROVERS alike.

Already tried the pot throwing taster session? enjoyed it and want more? or, perhaps you have pot throwing skills you wish to practice or revisit?

This half day POT THROWING EXPERIENCE Day is aimed at giving you the opportunity to explore the art of pot throwing further, have great fun on the potters wheel and build your own, personal pot throwing skills at YOUR individual pace. You will practice how to centre and throw pots on a potters wheel. You will throw as many pots as you can (usually at least 6!) within the workshop and will try different quantities of clay and throwing techniques, and of course you will undoubtedly get covered in mud!! You will also be shown how to recycle your clay and should be able to work independently on a wheel by the end of the session.

Price includes bisque firing two of your finished pots although you are welcome to purchase more of your pots for firing if you wish.

You will need to wear comfortable shoes and warm, old clothes suitable for working in a pottery studio. Please ensure long hair is tied back, rings, watches and bracelets removed and nails trimmed.

Please bring:

• old towel (plus plastic bag to take home in!)
• any refreshments you may need (there is a cafe on site but please check your workshop times against opening hours).

On completion of your course you will select two of your best pots for completing. Your pots will need to dry before they can be fired, this can take 2-3wks before they are ready for collection. If you would like to glaze your pots please collect promptly then bring them to any of the ‘drop in’ sessions (pay per session), alternatively you can collect after firing and take home to paint with for example acrylics and PVA wash/varnish
