20 hours Workshop

Pottery Wheel

Take the next step in your ceramic practice in our pottery wheel course.

 

  • 20-hour pottery wheel course divided into 5 sessions of 4 hours each.
  • Adapting the program to your pace and level, the course is focused on learning, improving the practice, and perfecting it: building larger pieces, applying alterations and various finishes, working on serial production.
  • We will work with different clay bodies for a better understanding of the qualities and characteristics of each: low temperature, high temperature, and porcelain.


In the pottery wheel course, you will have the opportunity to create pieces that you can later decorate with surprising effects in our raku course. Alternatively, you can work on that unique design project you’ve been imagining and drawing inspiration from, to later use it as a prototype and create a mold in our plaster mold-making course.
