5 week beginners course // pottery throwing

Learn the foundations of throwing in a relaxed, small group setting.

This 5-week course is perfect for anyone curious about wheel throwing — whether you're starting from scratch or looking to build on a taster session. With just four people per class, you'll get plenty of support as you build your confidence and skills week by week.

Over the course, you'll learn how to centre and shape clay on the wheel, explore different forms like mugs and bowls, and finish your pieces with trimming, handles and optional glazing. You'll also choose between 6 - 8 of your favourite work to be glazed and fired, ready to collect after the course.

Week 1: Meet the Wheel — centering & pulling up walls
Week 2: Functional Forms — tumblers, mugs & form-building
Week 3: Bowls & Curves — exploring shape & movement
Week 4: Handles & Trimming — add polish and function
Week 5: Finishing Touches — decorate, glaze & prepare your work for firing

All materials, tools and firing included. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
