Private Wheel Throwing | Introduction to Pottery

Try a pottery wheel with private 1-to-1 session with owner of Posy Ceramics!

If you’ve always wanted to give pottery a go but didn’t want to commit to a lengthy course, then this is the perfect class for you. 

In this 1.5 hour Wheel Throwing Workshop we focus on form and skills to make your very own handmade pieces on the pottery wheel, you will be guided by Emily (owner of Posy Ceramics) in the skills of wheel and learning how to throw a basic bowl or cup - please note that learning the wheel takes time and practice but you will create something in this 1.5 hour session that is functional. At the end of the session, you can pick two items that you have made that will then be trimmed, glazed in my studio white glaze and fired for you to collect around 2 weeks later.

+ What you will learn 
I will teach you the fundamentals of throwing on the potter's wheel, taking you through the process of how to center your clay, open it up, pull up the walls and show you options of how to shape your piece. 

+ What you will make
Usually a small tumbler, vase, bowl or planter. This is an introductory session so please don’t get frustrated if you don’t walk away with a perfect shape, pottery takes practice so relax and have fun with it. 

+ What to expect from your first Posy Workshop
All workshops are beginner friendly and do not require any prior knowledge of ceramics, but if you have prior experience it’s also catered to all levels too! This specific session will be an private instructional with posy owner and you will have full attention to all skills and practices on the wheel.
