Starting Tuesday 6th January / Ends Tuesday 3rd March (1-week break for half-term. No class on 17th March)
This 8-week course is the next step for those who have already completed the 6-week Learn to Throw course or equivalent. You will learn how to improve your centering and how to throw more consistently. This course is aimed at consolidating your basic throwing skills so that you can throw with ‘intent’. We will cover intermediate throwing skills with a focus on improving cylinders, throwing taller and moving onto bowls, handles, shaping, turning and finishing with glazing methods and techniques. There will also be plenty of time for you to explore other forms and techniques.
This is not an absolute beginner’s course. To benefit from this class, you should have experience with the following:
Centering clay
Able to throw a 3-4 inch cylinder
If you are new to throwing you will need to take an Introduction to Throwing course or an equivalent first and put in some hours of practice before applying for this course. We run a 6-week Learn to Throw course which would get you off to a flying start before tackling this course.
£320 per person, to cover tuition and all materials used during the course, including clay, studio glazes, bisque and glaze firings.
Vouchers for this course are available.
Tutor: Karen Groves
Refund Policy: If for any reason you are unable to attend the course you have booked, a full refund will be given up to 4 weeks before the start of the course. Half refunds are available between 4 & 2 weeks before the start date and for less than 2 weeks we are unable to offer refunds unless the place can be taken by someone else, in which case we refund you in full less £50 admin costs.
