This is a fun activity in Cheltenham, Gloucester
The class will give you an introduction to wheel-throwing, including shaping, centering, and refining your pots. You will learn to create functional pottery bowls using the potter's wheel, with personalised instruction and attention from Selby, our pottery tutor.
Having taught students for many years, Selby has never had anyone who hasn’t managed to make a pot!
Throughout this fun session, all materials will be provided, and each student will have the opportunity to have two unique pieces fired & glazed by Selby. These pieces (usually one wheel-thrown pot and one coil pot) will be fired and glazed, and ready for you to collect roughly three to four weeks after your session. You may make more items if time allows, but you will have to choose your favourite two pieces as the rest will be consigned to the 'Bucket of Doom' to be recycled!
Finished pieces can be posted for an additional charge, although we prefer collection for obvious reasons.
With a small group size of just 8 students, you will receive plenty of hands-on guidance, allowing for a fun learning experience in a supportive, creative environment.
We have 4 wheels in the studio, so your time will be split between throwing and learning the classic art of making a coil pot at our benches.
This is a perfect opportunity to explore the joy of pottery, whether for personal enjoyment or as the beginning of a new creative hobby.
Don't forget you will need to squeeze in slices of all our delicious cakes plus coffee from our wonderful bean-to-cup coffee machine and maybe a little glass of bubbly before you leave us for the day.
