Intermediate Wheel Throwing Course

Course Description

This course is scheduled once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. It is intended for potters who are looking at expanding their skills repertoire and mastering the wheel. Ideally the participants should be able to independently center clay of minimum 1 kg and throw a cylinder of at least height 10 cm. The 5 sessions cover the techniques of throwing vessels with various types of lids, directly on the wheel, off the hump and creating lidded vessels from enclosed forms. This is a necessary development for teapot making. The 6th session will be a glazing session. Selected materials and firings services are included in the course fee.
