Pottery Throwing, Turning and Glazing 6 week Evening Series with Michelle Best

We are excited to add a new 6 week evening pottery series to our workshop calendar for 2022 with our resident potter Michelle Best.

 

This evening series will run on the following consecutive weeks:

Thursday 17th March: 6:00pm – 8:30pm (Week 1)
Thursday 24th March: 6:00pm – 8:30pm (Week 2)
Thursday 31st March: 6:00pm – 8:30pm (Week 3)
Thursday 7th April: 6:00pm – 8:30pm (Week 4)
Thursday 14th April: 6:00pm – 8:30pm (Week 5)
Thursday 21st April: 6:00pm – 8:30pm (Week 6)

 

This six-week course is for beginners and people with intermediate knowledge of throwing on the wheel and wishes to learn new techniques or keep practicing with newly found skills.

 

The first week we will discuss your expectations and any projects you would like to focus on i.e. lidded pots, plates, bowls, mugs.

 

Week two and three will be continuing with throwing and week four/five will be trimming your pots and adding handles, if necessary.

 

Then Michelle will Bisque fire your pots and on week six we will talk about the chemistry of glazing followed by waxing and glazing your pottery using our in-house glazes.

 

Your final pieces will then be fired by Michelle and ready for collection at a later date.

 

Due to the limited size of the kiln, plates and large bowls will be restricted to one each per person and a maximum of six items in total.

 

Throwing on the wheel can be messy so wear old clothes and tie long hair back. Aprons will be provided. The course is for over 16’s only.
