Potters Wheel Short Course
The Potters Wheel Short Course is a great entrance course for those who want to dip their toes (or should we say hands!) into the wheel without committing to a Masterclass!
Potters Wheel Short Course
The Potters Wheel Short Course is a 5 week immersion into the very basic skills required to make simple pots on the potters wheel – “throwing”
You will learn about preparing clay, centering, opening, making cylinders and bowls. You will also learn to make bottles and simple lidded containers!
