Is this course right for me?
This class is for students who have previously attended wheel throwing classes and are comfortable with wedging, centering clay and throwing small vessels.
Materials and Clay Firing
Students will be provided with a half bag of Keanes White Earthenware 37 clay each (5kg) to enable completion of several vessels. Additional clay may be purchased at $6 per 2kg (or $30 a 10kg bag)
You will be able to use our pottery tools during the workshop, or you if you already have a set bring what you have.
6-8 objects (size dependent) will be bisque fired. Additional pieces can be fired at $15 per piece.
Once fired, you can book in for a glazing session at just $25.
All students should bring:
a large sponge (car wash size).
a thick kitchen sponge cut into four pieces
an old hand towel
a plastic storage container with a lid is useful to keep your materials together (about 40cmx30cmx15cm high) (eg from Ikea, officeworks or a discount shop)
a notebook to take notes and sketch your ideas
an apron
wear old closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothes you are relaxed about getting clay on. For wheel throwing, best to wear comfortable pants/trousers as you’ll sit close to the wheel as you throw.
Our class sizes are small, ensuring you receive the individual tuition you need.
Unless otherwise noted, clay is supplied for ceramic workshops and this is included in your fees, however there may be other items to bring, so please review course description carefully.
