Wheel throwing introduction with Fiona
Available spots
Class description
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
