Wheel Throwing Workshop

Learn how to use the potter’s wheel and refine your techniques in these 2 workshops of 12 hours each.

 

  • The potter’s wheel course is divided into 2 workshops: the INITIATION and the DEEPENING workshop. Choose one of them or attend both.
  • The course is held exclusively on weekends, in sessions of 6 hours per day.
  • You will learn to master the techniques of working on the potter’s wheel and ceramic decoration. You will discover how relaxing and rewarding it is to be in contact with clay. You will enjoy both the creation process and the final product: your handmade pieces decorated by you.

The  introduction to wheel throwing and slip decoration workshop is ideal for your first contact with the potter’s wheel. After the class, you will be able to use these techniques independently and continue moving towards more complex forms in our wheel throwing professionalization course.
