Wheel taster evening

At our Deventer studio

Time to work with clay

Try the wheel at a quiet pace. Shape a small bowl and see how clay responds to your hands.

Your first time at the wheelThis evening is for adults who want to try throwing without joining a full course. We begin with a short demonstration, then help you centre the clay, open the middle and lift a wall. There is room to start again. A gentle wobble is part of learning, and your first bowl does not need to match anything on our shelves.What the evening includesA wheel for each participant, with a maximum of six adultsClay, tools, an apron and guidance throughout the sessionFinishing, a house glaze and both firings for one small pieceWear clothes that can get muddy, keep nails short if possible and tie long hair back. We spend the last part of the evening choosing a piece to keep and cleaning our work areas together. We finish and glaze your chosen piece after it has dried.After the classClay must dry fully before firing. We let you know when your piece is ready to collect from the shop. Firing can change its colour and size, and an occasional crack is possible. Contact us for available evenings. Your place is agreed personally after we reply.
