Taster Class

About this course

The session introduces two approaches to working with clay. Participants spend part of the class throwing on the wheel, then use hand-building techniques to make their own pieces. The teacher provides guidance throughout as learners work individually on their clay projects. Tools and clay are supplied, and selected finished pieces are glazed by the studio after they have dried.
