6 Week Wheel Course
6-Week Wheel Course
Sometimes one day just isn’t enough to satisfy your clay addiction. This six-week course is designed for beginners through to intermediate potters, as well as anyone wanting more wheel time and guidance to develop their practice.
Across six weekly sessions, you’ll explore wheel throwing, trimming, attaching handles and feet, and finishing techniques. With plenty of time to practice and experiment, you’ll expand your skills in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Over the course, you’ll create a collection of pieces finished in your choice of studio glazes. Your work will be fired and ready for collection within 4–6 weeks, or delivery is available for a flat rate of $20.
Can’t make a class? Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered.
