Introduction to Wheel Throwing Workshop (EN) 2/3.6

This is the perfect workshop if you have dreamt of learning how to make your own cup, bowl or vase. In this 2-day workshop, you will learn the basics of throwing your own pieces on the wheel. I will guide you through the essentials of wheel throwing, then help you shape and throw different forms on the wheel. There will also be some time on your own to work with the clay and see what unique pieces you will bring to life // No experience needed! The workshop is perfect for beginners with no experience or if you want a refresher. Bring yourself, your excitement to learn and let’s get messy together! // Workshop Structure Day 1: Centering & Throwing (3.5hrs) Here we will learn the importance of preparing & centering the clay.
