# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Beginners Pottery Throwing - 4 week course
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 12:30 pm – Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 02:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Come along and join ceramicist and artist Jeanette Sheppard for this four-week course, designed for complete beginners and anyone looking to improve their centring skills. With demonstrations, plenty of practice time, and guided support from Jeanette throughout, you’ll be encouraged to develop the essential techniques needed to throw at the wheel.

June 21st - Week 1 – The Essential Skills
This session is all about becoming comfortable with the process, enjoying the feel of the clay,
and building confidence at the wheel. We’ll start with the fundamentals, including coning,
centring, opening the clay, and pulling up the walls.

June 28th - Week 2 – Shaping
This week we’ll focus on how to throw a cylinder — a foundational shape in wheel throwing. We’ll look at developing control as you create height and form.

July 5th - Week 3 – Curves and Coloured Slips
We’ll explore learning how to throw a bowl. This session will lead you through how to openout the base, create smooth curves, and build familiarity with shaping the clay. In preparation for Week 4, Jeanette will demonstrate how to use coloured slips as surface decoration.

July 12th - Week 4 – Make It Yours
In this final week, you’ll have the opportunity to continue to work on your skills at the wheel and you’ll have the chance to decorate some of your work using coloured slips. Also, Jeanette will offer to show you how to do simple turning – the process that refines the base of a pot. If you don’t have a pot ready to turn at this point, you’ll be able to choose TWO pieces to be simply turned by the studio after the course.

ALL student’s TWO chosen pieces will be bisque fired after the course has ended, and you’ll have the option to collect them when they are at this stage.

Another option is for you to come back after the bisque firing for a clear glazing session (£10 for the TWO pieces) - dates and times will be sent to you at the end of the course.

Alternatively, you may like to join our Intermediate course (dates to be announced), where you’ll be able to glaze your work.
