Monday Morning : Combo class | Wheel throwing & Hand Building

Monday 10:30am - 12:30pm with Jessie Pittard

This Term we are running a Combo class for you to learn both wheel throwing and hand building!

Over the 8 weeks, Jessie will guide you through the fundamentals of both wheel throwing and hand building. Three weeks will be spent learning the basics of each technique and then you'll have a week to work on a project of your choice using either technique.

The course will cover the principles of wheel throwing - from clay preparation, centering and pulling up - and the different hand building techniques - pinching, coiling and slab building. 

At the end of Term, our final class will be a class all about glazing! We will cover all the different ways you can use and explore our in house glaze collection to put the finishing touch of your creations.
