Throwing for Beginners is a relaxed half-day pottery experience designed of one or two people, allowing plenty of individual guidance throughout the session. Working in a calm garden studio setting, you'll be introduced to the fundamentals of wheel throwing, learning how to centre clay on the wheel and shape simple forms.

​

During the workshop you'll have the opportunity to work on both a traditional Leach kick wheel and an electric wheel giving you a feel for two different approaches to throwing. The emphasis is on enjoyment, curiosity and learning through doing with gentle instruction and encouragement at every stage. No previous experience is necessary. 

​

Each participant may choose one piece to be glazed and fired after the session, ready for collection or shipping at a later date. All materials are included along with refreshments to enjoy during the workshop. This experience is ideal for complete beginners, couples or anyone looking for a relaxed introduction to working with clay.
