This is the perfect class for beginners who want to learn how to throw on a pottery wheel. The class is run by Suzan, a professional pottery artist.

Firstly Suzan will give you an introduction to the materials and the processes of wheel throwing. This will be followed by a  quick demonstration so you can see exactly how the craft is preformed. As the class is a maximum of two people Suzan can then assist you one-to-one on the wheel making sure you are using the correct technique 

By the end of the class you will have created a number of pots. You will be able to  choose a piece that you have thrown during the class and choose one of the glazes  available. Suzan will finish the pot by adding the glaze after the workshop is finished. Your final pieces will be ready to pick up usually three weeks after your last class. You will be contacted over email or text when your work is ready.
We ask that you pick up or arrange for your pots to be delivered to you (for an additional £6) within 2 month of the original pick up message. If your pieces have not been picked up or sent within this time-frame then we regret that we will have had to dispose the work, as we are so limited on shelf space.
