Altered Forms Course • Intermediate Throwing

£390.00

For those of you who feel comfortable with the fundamentals of throwing on the wheel, and would like to explore more considered shapes ––– we invite you to join Altered Forms.

This relaxed and intimate six week evening course has been designed to offer you the space to explore your own personal expression and style through projects that encourage creativity whilst teaching you how to achieve more complex forms and surfaces in your work.

With attentive guidance, you can spend more time honing your throwing skills, experimenting with throwing more complex shapes and larger weights of clay, and then further explore, based on your interests: creating more complex forms and additions including vases, water vessels, spouts; adding handles for mugs, jugs and pitchers; carving for functionality (colanders, strainers, candle holders) and surface decoration (fluting, textures, additional of other clays); working with slips; and finishing and refining your work.

To offer you maximum support, we will never have more than four in our throwing classes and you will always have your own, dedicated wheel and a quiet space to practice.

Course Dates

Tuesday Evenings, 6.45—8.45PM
13 Jan • 20 Jan • 27 Jan • 3 Feb • 10 Feb • Glazing: 24 Feb

Included

This course includes the use of our house clays, either Toast or Chalk. Should you wish to work in other clays, they are available to purchase as an extra, subject to availability – please get in touch for pricing and we will gladly provide in advance.

Workshop Notes

Each session is two hours – but we’ll allow for ten minutes at the end to clean down your workstation.

This series is aimed at those with a little more experience, however if it speaks to you and you are just starting out, we’ll support you to work at your level. Just get in touch if you have any questions.

Please bring an apron and old tea towel, and consider cutting your nails short for throwing sessions.
