Beginner Pottery Wheel Workshop
*Beginner friendly. No previous experience necessary
Have you always wanted to try the potter's wheel but never had the chance? Get your hands dirty and experience the joy of throwing on the potter's wheel.
This is a small workshop so you get plenty of one on one time.
During this two-hour workshop, which is perfect for beginners, you will learn the process of pottery making, from clay preparation to firing.
The session will start with a safety briefing and chat about the process, followed by a quick demonstration of throwing a pot on the wheel. You will then get to jump on the wheel yourself and get stuck into centering clay, pulling the walls and shaping your very own ceramic pieces!
To maximise your time on the wheel, the clay will be prepared for you. Due to the slow nature of the pottery process, your pieces will be trimmed and glazed by us after the session.
This workshop is suitable for ages 15 and over. A parent must stay with anyone under the age of 18.
Location : 10 Tatiara Drive, Grantville Victoria
What is Included? Clay, use of studio equipment, glaze and firing costs
What to bring? Enthusiasm and a free, creative mindset! Two hands that are ready to get creative, comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a bit muddy, a apron or large over-shirt is a good idea, old towel and closed toe shoes.
