Pottery Classes

Throwing On The Wheel – 3 Hours – Adults (and kids 11+)

Wanstead Pottery is a calm and inviting space for you to explore the marvellous medium of clay. The Throwing classes feature a maximum of three students. You will be taught how to prepare your clay, how to centre it on the wheel, how to pull up the walls of your piece to create form and how to use the tools provided. Please be prepared for a few disasters before you get to grips fully with the potter’s wheel, it’s perfectly normal for beginners and all part of the fun of the learning process.

You will keep your best thrown pot from the session. After it has become leather hard the piece will be finished, fired and glazed for you. There will be the opportunity to choose a glaze from the select range of studio dipping glazes.

You will be notified by email once your piece has completed its second firing and is ready for collection.
The price includes all materials used during the session. Please wear old clothing and shoes!
A welcome email will be sent with further information ahead of your class.
The pottery is located in the heart of Wanstead Village and I very much look forward to welcoming you to the studio.
