Multiple day workshops
The Potter’s wheel: make your own cup
In this four-week course, you will develop the basic technique of wheelthrown pottery.
During this process (Day 1 & 2)you will learn to center your piece on the wheel and change it into a cilinder, the basic shape from which most other shapes get created (cups, bowls, vases, etc..)
After the process of throwing, we will get into the trimming/turning fase (Day 3) where we will finish our piece with specialised tools and decorate them ( carving, slibs, underglazes,…)
The last fase (Day 4) is glazing your piece. There are different techniques for glazing. We will discuss them and then practice on our own cup.
