POTTER’S WHEEL HALF DAY WORKSHOP | 3 HOURS l £100pp
Learning to throw pots is immensely satisfying. Come and immerse yourself in the tranquil surroundings of the North Cotswolds on our Half Day Wheel Workshop. Suitable for the complete beginner or those who wish to dig a little deeper to expand their technical knowledge and throwing skills.
After a warm welcome, our Half Day Workshop begins with a detailed demonstration on the potter's wheel given by one of our expert potters. You will then be allocated your own potter’s wheel for the duration of the class. Your instructor will guide the group through each of the five steps again as you get to grips with handling the clay. After you’re up and running, you can relax and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of throwing at your own pace (with as much or little tuition as required). You may create as many pots as you wish of all shapes and sizes, using an unlimited supply of clay.
This is a make and take class, so at the end of the workshop you can chose your best piece to take away on the day free of charge (additional pots charged at £3). Pots can be left to airdry at home and painted if you wish.
