Potter's Wheel One Day Course - Eastnor Pottery

Ever yearned to go ‘hands on’ with a potter’s wheel… or maybe you need to fine tune your technique? Whatever your experience, beginner or improver, this is the course for you. Small friendly groups of 8 ensure plenty of individual attention and guidance. Participants are consistently amazed at what they achieve in a day! The day starts at 10am. You will have your own personal potter’s wheel for the duration of the course. After introductions and initial demonstration you will be taken as a group, step by step, through the pot throwing process. Once you have got the hang of things, you will be encouraged to develop at your own pace with individual tutoring as and when required. After lunch there will be further demonstrations after which you will work larger lumps of clay, make bigger pots and explore different shapes and forms. After the wheels and tools have been cleaned, you will select your favourite one or two pieces, depending on size to be fired and glazed. Extra pots can be fired at cost (£6 per 250g payable on the day). The session ends at 4pm. Your fabulous creations will be left with us to dry thoroughly before they go into the kiln. Once they have been fired and glazed, we’ll carefully wrap and dispatch your finished pots to your home address. You will be delighted at the professional results when they arrive on your doorstep approximately one month later.
