Beginners Wheel Throwing Classes is about learning and having fun.

You don't need any skills, just willing to have a go to create something you made.

I'll take you through the process and have fun.

Class Schedule: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Weeks 1-3 This is 2 hours per week. This is where you learn to wedge, centre and throw. (don’t worry if you haven’t any idea what I’m talking about or if you have never touched clay)

Week 4 This is 2-3 hours, where you can take time to relax and enjoy decorating you little treasures. You’ll possibly make 12-15 pieces, so you’ll only decorate 12 pieces.

Week 5 This is where you get to participate in unloading, waxing and glazing your pots. Then reload them into the kiln.

So, you get to have the experience of what the process is from the clay to the finished pot.

The 5-week classes run this period, sometimes it could go over a week, usually due to bad weather for bisque firing your creations in the kiln.

After bisque firing, you will then glaze your works in your final class.

Your tutor will then glaze fire your works. Please allow roughly two weeks for this to be completed. You will be notified when your pieces are available for collection at Wild Woman Designs: Open Saturdays 10:00am – 3:00pm.
