Beginners Pottery Course

Beschreibung

Fall in love with pottery and learn the foundations of working with clay on the wheel. Immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere of Ellen's ceramic studio overlooking Lions Head. Connect with the mindful process of shaping clay from its original form into a beautiful small vessel. You will learn how to wedge and prepare the clay, how to center it on the wheel, all the way to throwing various shapes (cup, bowl, planter etc.) and finally trimming your piece and glazing it. This workshop is suitable for beginners and people who want a refresher in the process of throwing a ceramics piece and will take between 8 - 10hrs split into three to four sessions. At the end of the workshop, you will have four of your favourite creations to take home with. Afterwards you'll be able to throw by yourself, become a member and join the open studio sessions (come and go during open hours to throw by yourself and grow your own ceramics collection).
