Six-week wheel course

A weekly studio rhythm

Make room for practice

Build a steady routine, from centring clay to trimming and glazing your own small tableware.

Learn through repetitionSix weekly sessions give you time to understand what your hands are doing. This course suits adults starting from scratch and beginners who want a firmer foundation. We work with a maximum of six people, each at a wheel. Rather than chasing a large collection, we practise a few useful forms: a straight cup, an open bowl and a simple foot ring.The course rhythmWeeks one and two: preparing clay, centring and openingWeeks three and four: shaping walls and trimming leather-hard piecesWeek five: refining forms and selecting work for firingWeek six: glazing suitable bisque-fired pieces and reviewing progressThe order can shift with drying and kiln space. The price includes tools, studio clay and both firings for up to five small pieces made during the course. We explain size limits at the first session. Bring an old towel and clothes you can wash easily. Each session includes time to clean your wheel.Before you commitAsk us for the next course dates and mention any dates you cannot attend. We discuss missed sessions before confirming your place; a catch-up is not automatic. Finished work stays at the studio until we tell you it is ready for shop pick-up.
