Wheel Throwing

What you'll do

Ever watched fascinated as potters use a spinning wheel to transform a lump of clay into a pot? Here's your chance to try your hand at making your very own ceramics on the pottery wheel!

Come and join our two-hour throwing workshop (“throwing” is the technical term for making something out of clay on the wheel).

You'll need an apron and a bath towel (not for bathing, but to put over your lap!) but everything else is provided. Not only that but we will finish off your masterpiece and glaze and fire it for you ready to take home around three weeks later!

The potter’s wheel is a master craftsman type of activity, so as a beginner having a go at it for the first time, you might make a cup or bowl, it might be a bit wonky, but YOU will have made it!

Take home your fabulous ceramic piece and have a heap of fun getting muddy, and learning the basics of centering, opening and drawing up the sides.

During the class, we'll try some cup shapes and some bowl shapes. You should get at least one pot to keep, and at the end, you can choose your favourite four pots!

Note: The cost of this class is fully inclusive of all materials, two firings, and us glazing your pieces for you. If you want to glaze your work yourself you will be given a card with instructions. Your work is ready for pick up between three and four weeks after the workshop.

We teach every aspect of pottery from introductory workshops through to masterclasses.

At Firebird Studios we are so proud of the quality of work and the quality of potter that we have created. Our combined wealth of experience in the team is such an inspiration to many in our community. The teachers are all so pleased to pass on their knowledge to the students coming through our doors... They willingly give of themselves from their experience - from various artistic backgrounds - and add greatly to our offerings.

We are motivated by encouraging our students to explore their creativity and to bring out their own style. Creativity is the core of our teaching, with technical expertise incorporated to achieve a professional standard!

Sander was really patient. He was encouraging and understanding. Pottery was something that I have wanted to learn for many years and today I did. I am looking forward to doing another class one day soon.

So much fun! I didn’t expect that we would get through so much and I’m excited to pick up my pieces in a few weeks! The teacher was so good, very helpful and charismatic. Small intimate group which made it nice too, everyone was so encouraging to each other. Would definitely do again!
