Intensive beginners wheel course
No experience needed
Course description
Day 1 & 2 – Throwing
We start with preparing the clay and the basics at the wheel. I show you the most important techniques – from centring and opening to pulling up and shaping. Above all it is about developing a feel for clay and wheel.
Day 3 – Trimming & shaping
You trim and refine your leather-hard pieces. You can shape feet, handles and surfaces, then decide for yourself which pieces should be fired and go into the kiln for the first firing.
Glazing
We arrange the date for this together during the course. I show you how to glaze your pieces. With my selection of glazes you can finish them entirely to your own taste. Then they go into the kiln for the final firing – and a few weeks later you can collect your finished ceramics.
No previous experience needed – just a little patience and the pleasure of trying things out.
Please bring: An apron, a small towel and a hair tie if your hair is longer. Short nails help at the wheel.
