Learning to throw clay on the potter’s wheel is a skill that requires focus and persistence, so a two-day intensive workshop is an excellent way to begin this exciting journey!

Tania Rollond provides demonstrations of all the basic skills including how to centre the clay, lift, shape and trim the form. She encourages you to develop wheel-forming techniques and build confidence with guided practices and one-to-one tuition.

All clay is provided, and selected pieces will be bisque fired in the NAS kilns after the workshop.

Please note, it may take up to four weeks after your course ends for works to be available for collection. We will notify you when they are ready for pick up.

Glazing courses are available in other short courses programs.
