Summer Throwing course - Big Jugs; Little Jugs! *FULL*


  • Julie Ayton 38 Winchester St Salisbury, England, SP1 United Kingdom (map)

This course is now full, but if you are interested in future courses contact me here to discuss your particular interest and possible future dates.

What could be nicer in the height of summer than a spell of open air throwing?

During these practical sessions over four days students can come back to pieces on consecutive days, taking advantage of overnight drying and planning the progress of their work.

We’ll look at the various approaches to making one of the fundamental pottery forms at different scales. Starting with the basic discipline of repeat throwing of smaller pieces, focusing on close attention to form and consistency of technique, we’ll then move on to bigger examples, using the various techniques involved in increasing scale on the wheel. There will also be opportunities to try some of the slip decorating techniques appropriate to leatherhard clay.

Suitable for intermediate potters, or early throwers with moderate experience but big ambition!

Thursday 15th July 6-9pm; Fri 16th 2-7pm; Sat & Sun 17th & 18th July 10-5pm

This summer course ran successfully last year during Covid restrictions; I anticipate being able to follow the same Covid-safe guidelines this year. In case of unavoidable cancellation, the course fee will, of course, be fully refunded.

Course fee: £240 includes materials, drinks and light refreshments. The studio is situated in the centre of Salisbury, with many cafes, pubs and shops close by for lunches.
