Take your pottery skills to the next level with our 5-week Wheel Throwing Course! This immersive experience is designed for students who want to refine their techniques and explore new forms on the pottery wheel. Over the course of 5 weeks, you’ll learn beginner to intermediate wheel-throwing techniques, troubleshooting common issues, and creating a variety of functional and decorative pieces. Our expert teachers will guide you every step of the way in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Please note: if one of the consecutive days falls on a public holiday, the class will be pushed out an extra week (extra session) or the teacher will arrange a makeup class with the group.
If you miss one session, you will need to arrange with the studio to attend another workshop that is currently running, and we only offer the dates and times available at that moment.

  • Opportunity to create multiple wheel-thrown pieces
