**WHEEL THROWING MARATHON - UP, UP, UP!**
This is an intermediate wheel-throwing course taught by the experienced potter and tutor Zsófia Földvári. With unlimited access to clay and the wheel you will learn how to utilize the clay better, make taller pieces efficiently and explore more advanced shapes. During the course we remove the pressure of creating finished pieces and concentrate on improving your technique. Therefore, no pieces will be fired in the studio, but there is a possibility to take away your leather hard pieces if you would like.

To get the most out of this course, you must be able to comfortably centre at least 500 g of clay and make a simple bowl or cylinder.
