The Basic Wheel-Throwing Course consists of three 3-hour lessons designed to guide you through every stage of creating a ceramic piece on a professional Shimpo wheel. All tools, firings, clay and glaze are included, and you can collect your finished piece about two weeks after the course.
Lesson 1 – You’ll learn how to prepare, center and shape stoneware clay on the wheel, building the fundamentals for forming simple shapes.
Lesson 2 – You’ll work on your piece at the leather-hard stage, trimming it and, if you wish, adding a handle (perfect for making a mug).
Lesson 3 – After the first bisque firing, you’ll dip-glaze your piece and fire it again to cone 6 (1200 °C).
Total duration: 9 hours (three weekly sessions of 3 hours each)
Schedule: 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm. Choose your preferred start date and book your spot!
