Turning without going crazy - Turning course

Pottery on the wheel for beginners and advanced


Two days to switch off from everyday stress and become creative? Design your own coffee cups and breakfast plates? Our monthly weekend pottery classes are designed to get you started on the wheel. Through individual attention, we teach the basic techniques necessary to make simple vessels on the potter's wheel, all the way to the finished glazed piece. No previous pottery experience is required. By the end of the course, everyone will be able to hold their first home-turned cereal bowls, coffee cups, and perhaps much more in their hands. With this acquired knowledge, you can continue your successes in the Open Workshop.


Contents:


Centering, breaking open, grounding, and raising a vessel
Turning off and handling a vessel
Clay preparation
Painting and glazing (in the open workshop, at no additional cost)
