Altered Forms Course • Intermediate Throwing
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, four-person evening course has been designed to offer you refine your throwing skills in a calm and supportive setting.
We ask you feel confident centring your clay and pulling a basic form. Beyond that, we will work with you at your level and you will receive gentle, hands-on guidance and adjustments to support your throwing practice.
With attentive guidance, you can spend more time developing key skills, 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.

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 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.
