Porcelain throwing day

Join ceramicist Qian Liu on this day workshop to learn how to throw porcelain clay on the wheel.

In this workshop Qian will teach you the fundamentals of throwing with porcelain. These will be broken down and taught with multiple demonstrations and one-to-one guidance including covering clay preparation, throwing, and details about turning, drying, and other making process that need to be considered when using porcelain.

Over the course of the day, you will have a designated wheel to use for practise where you will make several pieces to gain a more in-depth understanding of the motions and stages needed to get to a finished porcelain pot. You will then select one piece to be fired with a transparent glaze.

You will leave this workshop with confidence in throwing with porcelain clay and a fundamental understanding of the process and motions needed to create beautiful pottery.

Who is this workshop for?
Suitable for intermediate potters, you must be able to centre clay and lift clay confidently.

All materials and equipment are included. One piece of work will be kiln fired with a transparent glaze. Firings can take up to 6 weeks. We will contact you when your work is ready for collection.
