Introduction to throwing

This introductory course introduces you to the basics of pottery using the wheel. The course begins with demonstrations of the various steps involved in creating a ceramic object, and then moves on to turning your own pieces.

Materials, glazing and firing included (1 piece). Course pieces are fired in the month following the activity and must be collected within one month of receipt of the confirmation e-mail.

No previous experience required.

The course is run in small groups of no more than 4 people to encourage learning and sharing.

Here are a few recommendations for a better experience:

- keep nails short

- avoid jewelry

- wear clothes that can get dirty

It is the participant's responsibility to arrive on time to be admitted to the class.
