Join us for this 8 week ceramics course, designed for both beginners and those looking to build confidence at the wheel. Through guided practice, demonstrations and individual support, you’ll learn the foundations of wheel throwing while developing your own creative approach to working with clay.
Led by Kate Jones and Sophie Moran, the course introduces the essential techniques of wheel throwing, from centering and shaping clay to creating functional and sculptural forms such as bowls, cups, cylinders and vases. As your skills develop, you’ll explore ways to alter and refine thrown forms, opening up new possibilities for creative expression.
Throughout the term, you’ll work with a variety of clays, slips, oxides and glazes, learning how surface, texture and finish can enhance your work. You’ll also gain an understanding of safe and sustainable studio practices, building confidence in every stage of the ceramics process.
Whether you’re discovering clay for the first time or returning to strengthen your technique, this course offers the opportunity to build confidence at the wheel, develop your creative skills, and enjoy the rewarding process of transforming clay into functional and expressive forms.
