We learn, practise & fail magnificently at throwing on our small but mighty potters wheels.About this EventInduction to sociable, fun & eco inspired pottery workshopsSitting around a table and throwing pots on our colourful Small Ceramic wheels is inherently funny and a delightful ice-breaker. So, come along to be sociable, to have fun and to be challenged by something elemental yet preposterous.This event is:Suitable for complete beginners as well as seasoned pottersA 2 hour, hands on clay, throwing session.

After this induction and if you want more, stay in touch. Hobby Potter Sundays are held regulary but not every Sunday. Sunday Hobby Potter regulars, who have done this induction, get:early notice on dates and first dibs on placesa 35% discount, making the throwing sessions less than £9.75 per hour!to really hone their throwing skillsand to connect with and learn alongside other regular Sunday Hobby Potters.Optional Additional Costs£10 for each pot to be fired.NB. There is no charge for all the clay you will get through while practising. So, relax into the learning process, take risks and take your time deciding which (indeed, if any!) pots to fire.Your £10 does not just cover kiln costs. Unless you join us for a Trimming & Finishing sesson (such as that which is offered at Wednesday's Clay Club) and depending on the quality of your make, I may need to do the following for your pot to survive a firing: recompress the base, clean off slip, wet trim excess clay and turn a foot ring.What to expectThe perfect venue for a Sunday get together: The Garden Room at The Exchange Bar, which is open from 12 till 8 PM so come early and/or linger on.A potters table set with 6 mini wheels.Instruction. I break down the whole throwing process into 4 steps: centering, opening out, raising the walls, shaping and finishing. Although, if it were that easy, it’d be no fun!Help is at hand throughout if wanted.If you’ve never thrown before, just focus on getting a feel for it. The best approach is to get stuck in, get into the zone, chase your flow state, laugh at the funny bits and let the magic in.We use Small Ceramics wheels because their stability and geared motors make for an authentic throwing experience. The torque is such that the wheel remains steady when you most need it to be. In fact, the Small Ceramics wheels are so good that the skills, approaches and principles that I demonstrate on them can be directly transferred to throwing bigger.For more info go to:@potform1andsites.google.com/view/potform/homePlease note:We take your safety seriously and there will be hard copies of our Health and Safety, Information and Disclaimer document for you to peruse and sign before touching the equipment, tools and clay.
