1HR WHEEL TASTER CLASS £25pp

This 1hr taster session is about having a go and embracing the wonky & wobbly pots - Throwing takes time to master, it's about letting go, getting messy and having fun.

 

You'll get a ball of clay and are guided through the basic steps to make a pot. You will explore centering, opening up the clay & pulling up the clay walls - Trying to make a cylinder.

 

Once you have done your first pot with assistance, you will then get a second ball of clay and have time to self practice the steps.
