Description
Pottery on the wheel for beginners and advanced learners. Two days to disconnect from everyday stress and become creative? Design your own coffee mugs and breakfast plates? Our monthly weekend wheel-throwing courses aim to facilitate entry into working on the potter's wheel. Through individual support, we teach the basic techniques required to produce simple vessels on the wheel, up to the finished glazed piece. No prior knowledge is necessary. By the end of the course, everyone will be able to hold their first self-turned cereal bowls, coffee mugs, and perhaps much more in their hands. With these acquired skills, you can continue your successes in the Open Workshop. Content: Centering, breaking, setting the base, and pulling up a vessel
