You will be introduced to the fundamental skills of making pots on a wheel by creating cylinders and bowls. This taster day is perfect for total beginners or those with a little experience who want to practice the core skills. It is a very messy activity, so wear old clothes and cut nails short.
Your best pots from the day will be fired and glazed after the course, to be collected a couple of weeks later.

Students spend time learning the very basics of the taught medium, for example, how to mix colours, use different tools, set up an easel.
