Intermediate Throwing
Please join us for a five week throwing course for those who wish to further improve their skills on the wheel.
Stretch beyond the basics and deepen your throwing skills on this five session course.
Suitable for: This course is ideal for anyone who is confident centering and throwing a cylinder and who wishes to broaden their skills and improve. Particularly suitable as a follow-up for anyone who has attended our Throwing for Improvers course with Rosie.
This course is led by Rosie, and runs on consecutive Fridays for 3 hours each session.
On this course, gain confidence throwing consistently, utilising different throwing skills. We will be concentrating on technique, repetition and refinement.
We will start the course throwing a matching pair of small serving dishes or stacking side plates, to which we will then add side handles at trimming stage.
Then we will move on to throwing a vase or jug using 1kg of clay. The focus for this is gaining maximum height from the amount of clay used and gaining confidence. There will be an opportunity to add handles.
The cost includes instruction, five glazed pieces to keep, plus refreshments. We will recycle any other pots you have made. If you would like to keep more than the initial five, these will be weighed and charged for per 100g to cover the cost of clay, glaze, and firings.
The course is for adults (18+).
