This workshop will provide those who have completed a beginners throwing workshop, or those with a good experience of throwing an ideal opportunity to brush up on essential skills and take the next step in trying new approaches to making wheel thrown forms. You’ll have the chance to improve and focus on specific shapes as-well as learning to throw new forms and develop new techniques to further your skills on the wheel.

Throughout the day we will practice clay preparation and measuring, throwing classic forms such as cups, bowls, plates, then moving on to different forms of your choice - such as jars, vases, bottles and pitchers. Important techniques such as throwing lids off the hump and throwing to specific measurements for repeat shapes will be demonstrated alongside ways to use specific tools to help in throwing and finishing forms on the wheel. The workshop will be led with patient and friendly step-by-step instructions and demos, sharing of ideas, and continual guidance and tuition throughout.
