Thrown Forms Course • Beginners Throwing
Four people. Six weeks. Attuned, individual guidance throughout.
A rare opportunity to learn wheel throwing in a genuinely small-group setting.
Designed with beginners in mind but open to all levels, these courses are intentionally limited to just four participants, allowing for plenty of one-to-one support within our calm and carefully considered studio environment.
Whether you're learning to centre clay for the first time or refining an existing practice, teaching is tailored to where you are in your making journey. With your own dedicated wheel and attentive guidance throughout, you'll have the space to develop confidence, build technique, and enjoy the slower rhythm of working with clay.
Final course of the year, dates:
Mon 26 Oct • 2 Nov • 9 Nov • 16 Nov • 23 Nov • Glazing 7 Dec
Course Notes
2 hours (6.45–8.45pm)
With time built in at the end for cleaning down your work area and storing work safely
Includes glazing and firing for up to 10 finished pieces.
Additional pieces can be fired for a small fee.
Ready for collection within four weeks of your glazing session.
Please bring an apron and an old tea towel. Short fingernails are recommended for throwing.
Please see our booking policy for further information.
