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.
Larger forms offer a huge potential and enjoyable challenges for the potter, balancing technical considerations with great scope for expression. There will be four sessions; an evening, a long afternoon and two days, giving the opportunity for more sustained making, taking advantage of overnight drying time.
Throwing bowls deserves special attention. Whether finished with intricate decoration or simple glaze dipping, nothing is quite so satisfying as a beautiful curve inside a bowl and a good balance in the hands. During this workshop we’ll be concentrating on getting it right on the wheel.
