8 Week Advanced Wheel Throwing Course

Designed for students with previous wheel experience, as well as practising potters wanting to extend and refine their skills, this immersive eight-week course offers a deeper dive into wheel throwing — with an extra 30 minutes of throwing time each week to support focused practice and more ambitious projects.Across the term, you’ll build on your foundational knowledge and be guided through a series of intermediate to advanced techniques, exploring the next steps in form, technique, and studio confidence. You’ll learn how to throw larger pieces, improve control and consistency, and work on more complex forms such as spouts, lids, altered shapes, multi-part forms, and refined functional ware. Demonstrations will adapt to the skill level of the group, ensuring both returning students and experienced throwers feel challenged and supported.You’ll also have the opportunity to revisit essential skills — trimming, surface refinement, clay recycling, and glaze application — while developing more advanced throwing habits, including improved centring, wall compression, and throwing with intention.Our small class sizes mean you’ll receive individualised guidance, tailored demonstrations, and regular one-on-one feedback. Each session blends structured teaching with self-directed time on the wheel, allowing you to progress at your own pace while working towards more ambitious forms.All materials are included: aprons, clay, tools, glazes, and firings, so you can immerse yourself fully in the making process from week to week.
