Thursday evenings 6:30 - 9pm
COURSE DATES: 15/10, 22/10, 29/10, 5/11, 12/11
This course is specifically for students who are familiar with throwing but would like a little help building confidence at the wheel. Class sizes are capped at 3 in order to provide as much tailored learning as possible.
Note: If you're still fairly new to clay or throwing, I recommend starting with the Level 1 course instead. It provides a solid foundation and introduces the key techniques and processes you'll need to get the most out of future classes. If you're unsure whether this class is the right fit for you, please get in touch. I'm always happy to chat!
FOCUS:
Each set of 5 weeks focuses on a different form - we’ll look at BOWLS this time. Bowls may look simple, but they can be a tricky form to learn. Building the right foundation for a bowl is very different from throwing a cylinder, and understanding those differences will help you create stronger, more successful pots.
We’ll look at how to throw a range of bowl forms that require different tools and control, and we'll explore different foot rings and profiles.
Course duration: 5 × 2.5hrs
Learning objectives:
Develop your skills as a maker and gain confidence to throw independently
Strengthen your foundational skills and troubleshoot common issues at the wheel
Develop trimming and finishing skills
Build good studio habits including clay and reclaim management
The primary focus of this course is to develop your skills as a maker and gain confidence to throw independently. The fees include firing of 4 small-to-medium sized pieces of work.
Important things to note:
These classes run over five consecutive weeks. Please confirm your availability before finalising your booking to ensure the best experience. As class sizes are kept small, rescheduling sessions may not be possible.
This class is not suitable for under 16s.
If the course you’d like to take is full, I’d be happy to add you to the waiting list. Please email me at rachel@rbpots.com
