About Pottery Wheel: Vessel Creation with Black Clay - Short Course

Listed Under Workshops Events / Arts and Crafts Events

In this two part workshop which is suitable for intermediate potters with a little experience on the wheel, our resident tutor Nadia will introduce you to the processes of throwing and assembling large vessels on a potters wheel using black clay.

In the first two hour long session you will be guided through the steps of making a large vessel/vase thrown in two parts. At the start of the session, our tutor our tutor will elaborate on the benefits of using this particular clay and how to work with it effectively. Subsequently, begin by pre-planning your vessel with a drawing before settling in to throw the parts!

Return for your second session and learn how to trim, assemble and decorate your creation. Integrated into this session will be the use of coil throwing to add height, either in the form of a foot ring on the underside, or a neck.

A selection of specialist glazes are included in the price of the workshop.

Pieces will be ready for collection 2-3 weeks after the experience.

Whats Included:

All materials, including clay, tools, and a white glaze (optional).

An apron.

Expert guidance from experienced tutors.

Firing of your completed pieces (x2 maximum).

*Please note: This clay shouldn’t be used to craft tableware such as drinking cups, breakfast bowls, etc. It is more appropriate for decorative items such as trinket dishes, candlestick holders, bud vases. It contains more aggregate and grit than some other clay bodies and whilst it is perfectly safe and comfortable for wheel use, if you have sensory requirements it’s worth reaching out to ask questions before booking.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
