Beginners Wheel Throwing

TERM 3: 2026

$495

Designed for complete beginners as well as practising potterslooking to refine their technique; our 6 week wheel throwing course offers a comprehensive and hands-on introduction to wheel throwing. Whether this is your first time on the wheel or you’re returning to deepen your skills, you’ll be supported through every stage and skill level in a warn, inclusive studio environment.

Across six weeks, you’ll learn the fundamental foundations of wheel throwing, beginning with an introduction to clay preparation, wedging, and understanding the different stages of clay. From there, we’ll guide you through centring, pulling walls, and forming basic cylinder shapes — the building blocks for most functional pottery forms. As your confidence grows, you’ll explore bowls, mugs, and simple vase forms, with opportunities to practise throwing sets and experimenting with form and proportion.

You’ll also be introduced to essential studio skills such as clay recycling, trimming techniques for refining your pieces, and the basics of surface finishing. In the final weeks, you’ll learn how to apply studio glazes and prepare your work for firing; giving you a complete overview of the ceramic process from start to finish.

Our small class sizes create a supportive learning environment where you’ll receive one-on-one feedback tailored to your level and plenty of hands-on guidance. Expect a blend of structured teaching, personal exploration/play, and time to practise at your own pace.

All materials are included — aprons, clay, tools, glazes, and firings — so you can simply arrive ready to learn, create, and enjoy the satisfaction of making with your hands.
