Join ceramic artist, Rhi Jarman, for a fun introduction to throwing on the pottery wheel.

In this one day workshop, you will learn to make your own unique pots using the ancient technique of throwing. Rhi will take you through the fundamental steps, demonstrating how to centre the clay, open the form, and pull up the walls.

You will be supported to centre and throw your own pots, and various techniques will be presented to find what works best for you. Rhi will also demonstrate techniques for shaping your pot. You will then have the opportunity to decorate with coloured slips.

You will leave this workshop with the fundamental skills to throw pots on the wheel. You can choose your favourite two pieces to be glazed (white or transparent) and stoneware fired following the class.
