Double Taster session in wheel practice

Double Taster in wheel throwing and trimming.  2x 2 hours

The Double Taster session builds upon the work made during the single Taster session, introducing the core skills of centring, opening up, lifting the walls and adapting the form. While giving extension into the subsequent processes of wheel trimming and textural surface design. All enabled by the possibilities the leather hard stage of the clay.

Participants will receive a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of wheel throwing alongside wheel trimming. Through clear and concise demonstration and description of the process. With further technical guidance on hand to help overcome any challenging aspects. 

Wheel trimming adds a finished foot and refines the shape of the pieces made during the first session. When complete there is the option to add surface design in textures or carved elements, along with adding coloured clay slip decoration. Finally we will spend some time considering glazing options through seeing samples of a range of possible glazes. 

The final pieces are ready for collection when both firings are complete. This takes around three to four weeks. 

Group sizes are limited to 3 participants in total to provide plenty of one-to-one attention.

The double taster session is £120 per person, inclusive of all materials and the two firings.
