Wheel throwing Taster workshops

Taster >> [info text take from original listing]

The Beginners course is structured to give you the foundational skills of ceramic wheel throwing. Offering a rich starting point from which to begin enjoyment of this exciting and relaxing ceramics practice. The specific direction being determined by your own path of curiosity.

Participants will first develop the fundamental wheel throwing skill of creating the cylinder form. By centring, opening out and lifting the walls of the pot. From where a wide array of other forms can be reached.  Leading onwards we think about surface approaches through coloured slips and glazes. As the ceramic surface can be approached in myriad ways, with marks added or removed, a surface can be discovered through feel and a natural progression of aesthetic decisions. This may lead to surfaces giving way to expression, illustration or may be clearly minimal.
