Week 1

Introduction to Wheel Throwing!

It’s so exciting to throw a pot on the wheel, so let’s get dirty! Your instructor will teach you the basic steps and techniques for throwing bowls & mugs. ​

Work from the first week will not be kept. The focus on week one is learning the steps and not a final result.

​

Weeks 2, 3 

Trimming & Throwing Class will start with learning about trimming excess clay and cleaning up the bottoms of your new pots.  After your pieces are trimmed, back to throwing some new creations!

​

Week 4:

Trimming and Finishing

Trim and finish your pieces from week 3 and try out some hand-building.  Everything will be finished by the end of this class and ready to go into the kiln to be fired and ready for glazing next week.

​

Week 5

Glaze and Finish!

Learning about the fundamentals of glazing and under glazing.

Try out dipping glazing from our selection of gorgeous options! Experiment with different methods and colour combos.
