Overview
Offered in an 8-week block, this course provides a unique opportunity for you to learn and improve your throwing techniques.
This course takes you through the full process from clay preparation to finishing. You will learn throwing techniques for one-off or production pieces, turning and handle pulling.
No prior experience necessary - this course is for complete beginners or those with some experience who would like to learn more techniques. With only 5 places, each learner will have plenty of one-to-one tuition and the opportunity for instruction on what you would like to develop over the duration of the course.
Once more is known about the building requirements, we hope to release further course dates taking place at the Leach Pottery across the year.
