Join this six-week wheel throwing course in London and begin your creative adventure at Maison S Sommet.
Designed specifically for complete beginners, this hands-on course ensures you feel welcome from the moment you step into the studio. Do not worry if you have never sat at a wheel before; you will be using special beginner-friendly equipment and have access to unlimited clay and glazes. Your experienced teachers will be there to guide you step-by-step, helping you master the ceramics process at a comfortable pace.
Over the course of six evenings, you will progress from the very basics to finishing your own pieces:
- Week 1: Centering and throwing cylinders using different clay weights
- Week 2: Trimming techniques plus pulling and attaching handles
- Week 3: Throwing cups, bowls and vases
- Week 4: Bring a project idea – your teacher will guide you through creating your own piece
- Week 5: Trimming and refining all pieces made in weeks 3 and 4
- Week 6: Glazing your work and exploring colour, texture and finishes
You will complete the course feeling capable and creative, having developed a new set of skills. You will take home a collection of your own handmade pottery to display or use with pride.
Please note: All finished pieces will be fired and ready for collection or delivery 2–3 weeks after the final class. Students also gain exclusive access to Open Access sessions for £7 per hour.
