Overview

This course is for anyone who has some experience on the wheel already and is looking to improve their technique. Whether you’ve completed one course or several, this programme is designed to be flexible and encourage you to push yourself with detailed guidance and personalised instruction.

We’ll cover making lids, throwing at a larger scale, bottle forms and controlling the clay. The course can also cover making teapots and can be tailored to each student if you have a specific goal in mind.

You’ll turn your pots and cover pulling handles. Then we will explore surface design including use of slips and texture.

Your work will then be glazed in the final class and will be ready to be collected after two weeks.

The class size is limited to a maximum of six to allow for a lot of questions and demonstrations to help you get the most progress out of your time here.

Participants must be 18 or over.

To begin this course I’d recommend being comfortable with the following skills already:

• Centering

• Throwing a cylinder

• Turning a simple foot

Cost
£220pp incl. all materials and firings.

Dates Available
19th June - 17th July (Thursday evenings)

Taught by Jen Smith

Clay and Glazes

All of our classes use the same stoneware clay and unique glazes that Jen has developed for the studio. This also means that your work will be perfect for tableware, microwave and dishwasher safe and even able to go in the oven!

All classes take place in the pottery at 684 Pollokshaws Rd.
There is free parking on March Street and Nithesdale Drive only a minutes walk away.
We are 5 mins walk from Queens Park Station and on many bus routes.
