Beginning Wheel Class

Are you interested in learning the basics of pottery wheel throwing?
Join our 8-week Beginners Wheel Classes where you will learn the following:

Items you will learn to make:
  • Straight-sided cylinders
  • Bowls
  • Plates (if time allows)

Techniques you will learn:
  • Wedging clay using one of the 3 main methods
  • Centring clay on the wheel head
  • Opening and raising walls of a clay form
  • Attaching a bat to the wheel head
  • Turning the bottom of a form to create a foot
  • Glazing your finished pieces

By the end of the term, you will be able to confidently raise cylinders and make bowls and plates, enabling you to expand the size of your pieces in future continuing wheel classes. You will also have a few finished glazed items to take home.
