Session 1 (Saturday)
will focus on throwing on the wheel. We'll begin with a full demonstration, guiding you through each step of the process. You'll
then get the chance to create your own pieces, with plenty of guidance and one-on-one help available throughout.
Session 2 (Sunday)
is all about trimming. You'll return to refine the pieces you made the day before, shaping them into functional forms. The session will start with a demo and you'll be supported throughout as you work on your pieces.
Once your pieces are finished, they’ll be bisque fired, clear glazed, and glaze fired. You’ll be notified when they’re ready to collect — typically within 3 to 4 weeks of the workshop.
