Join our tutor Jessica for Tuesday nights on the wheel!
AUTUMN TERM - Tuesday 16th September until 21st October
WINTER TERM - Tuesday 4th November until 16th December
WHAT: Learn the exciting art of throwing on the potter's wheel. This course is perfect for beginners and intermediates, where you will learn in a small intimate group to ensure you get the proper guidance and tuition needed.
You will develop the skills to throw your own pots in just a few weeks; learning how to centre the clay, open out the shape, pull up the walls and control the form. Your tutor will show you how to shape your piece, trim and neaten, then decorate with glazes before your creations are fired in the kiln.
You should come away with 3 masterpieces to take home, but please be aware that absolute beginners’ pieces are more likely to break during the bisque fire, so there is a chance that they might not survive!
WHO: Jessica is your Tuesday evening tutor. Since graduating with a degree in Fine Art, Jessica has been practicing ceramics for over four years. She specialises in creating illustrative underglaze designs, taking inspiration from the local nature and moorlands which she is grateful to live amongst. She can’t wait to share her passion for all things clay with you all.
