Beginner Wheel Course 2 - Term 2 2025

Class description

We're holding a smaller second beginner wheel class that will run concurrently with the beginner wheel extension. If you've been waiting for a spot on the beginner wheel course, here's your opportunity. Learn the basics of throwing clay on a potter wheel in an informal, enjoyable class. Each participant has individual attention during the lessons and after the five classes will have at least one useful object to take home - although most produce many more. Participants will learn the core skills of throwing: wedging clay, centring, opening, pulling walls, trimming leather hard items as well as pulling and attaching handles. These will be taught over 4 consecutive lessons, followed by an additional 5th class where students will learn how to glaze their bisque fired pieces. Taught by Fiona McLeod, a Whanganui based full time potter. Any questions, contact Chris whanganuipotters@gmail.com
