This three-hour workshop, which is perfect for beginners, will start with a demonstration of how to wedge and prepare clay for the pottery wheel. You will then move onto learning the techniques required to form a cylinder, which is the base shape used in the formation of wheel-thrown ceramics.

The processes that you will learn include:

Centring the clay
Lifting the walls of the pot
Shaping the pot
Cutting the pot off the wheel

Round up your family and friends and get them along to playing with clay! You will discover how fun and relaxing pottery can be, spend a great time with like-minded creative people.

You will finish the class with two items that are ready to be dried, bisque fired and glazed by us in our house glazes. The items can be collected two weeks after the class.

The class was great, 4 of us were all beginners and Tania had great patience having to deal with all of us ! Great taste of the art which we all enjoyed ! There was also another helper whose name I can't recall but she too was an awesome teacher and friendly person to deal with Overall a great day would definitely recommend ! Also good coffee truck just outside the venue

The wheel throwing class with Tanya was great. Being beginners, we didn’t have high hopes of making anything worth taking home, but we both finished the class with two pieces that we were proud of. She was very encouraging and patient as a teacher, which was great. Highly recommend Tanya’s class! It was great fun, and nice to try something different.

Tanya was absolutely great, she showed me how to pull a wall which l was not able to do, and what l was doing wrong. I can always ask her for advice. Thanks Tanya
