Designed for confident beginners ready to refine their technique, in this session you’ll explore the sculptural form of plant pots; learning to throw taller and thinner walls. This is a practical, hands-on course with an emphasis on improving control, consistency, and creativity at the wheel.

– Learn how to shape upright, straight structures using 500–600g of clay
– Develop two 15cm plant pots
– Experiment with proportions and silhouettes to create unique plant pot designs
– Apply slip or underglaze for colour and contrast
You’ll be guided through demonstrations and receive one-to-one support as you throw, refine, and experiment throughout the day.
