What could be nicer in the height of summer than a spell of open air throwing?

During these practical sessions over four days students can come back to pieces on consecutive days, taking advantage of overnight drying and planning the progress of their work.

We’ll look at the various approaches to making one of the fundamental pottery forms at different scales. Starting with the basic discipline of repeat throwing of smaller pieces, focusing on close attention to form and consistency of technique, we’ll then move on to bigger examples, using the various techniques involved in increasing scale on the wheel. There will also be opportunities to try some of the slip decorating techniques appropriate to leatherhard clay.

Suitable for intermediate potters, or early throwers with moderate experience but big ambition!

Thursday 15th July 6-9pm; Fri 16th 2-7pm; Sat & Sun 17th & 18th July 10-5pm
