Weekend Throwing and Turning Workshop

You are booking a two day workshop: Saturday (10.30am to 13.30pm): you'll dive into throwing on the potter's wheel. Sunday (10.30am to 13.30pm): you'll learn to turn your creations into beautifully finished pieces.

This hands-on workshop offers you the unique opportunity to practice and refine your skills under the expert guidance of our Associate Artist, Iris. Beginners will benefit from step-by-step instruction in throwing, while intermediates will receive support to enhance their techniques and confidence. There might even be time to try pulling a handle.

By the end of the weekend, you'll have experienced the entire potter’s wheel process, from throwing to turning, leaving you with valuable skills and a sense of accomplishment. Don't miss this chance to unleash your creativity and take your pottery journey to the next level!

About the Associate Artist Iris Dina Gunnarsdottir makes functional ceramics as well as other various art disciplines. Iris also teaches throwing classes — all of which can be tailored to the student's ability.
