This brilliant new beginners foundation 4 week course is to help get you started on your pottery journey. During the course you will be given an introduction to various pottery techniques including throwing on the wheel and hand building. Adults 18+ only.
• You will learn the basics of throwing and turning
• You will learn basic hand building techniques such as coiling & pinching as well as decorating with stained slips.
• This is designed for those who are not sure what course they want to do and are keen to get an insight as to what it’s like to throw on the wheel and hand build before committing to a longer course.
• After this short course you can specialise and book onto our 8 week beginners throwing course (please note that you will not be able to go straight onto the beginners+/intermediate course).
• Alternatively, if you want to learn more about both the wheel and hand building working with specific projects and additional techniques, you can book onto our 10 weeks combined course to become a better all rounder.
