Four Week Throwing Course | Various Start Dates | Lee Studio

About this experience

On this 4 week throwing course you will have a complete overview on how to work with clay on the wheel.

You will learn how to wedge your clay, as well as centering, pulling up the walls and making basic shapes such as mugs, bowls and pots. We will explore painting with underglazes as well as dip glazing and learn about several different decoration techniques. Our tutor will give you all the tips and techniques to develop any project you have in mind!

What's included?
We will provide all materials throughout the course. All of our students use our studio clay, and have access to a full range of tools and glazes.

The glazing and firing of up to 6 pieces is included in the price of this course. However, if you want to keep more of your creations, then we charge £5 per small pot and £10 per bigger item if you want to fire and glaze them.

Good to know!
-Short nails are much easier to work with but long pretty nails are not impossible to work around!
-Jewellery off!
-Don’t come in your Sunday best, when we play with clay we get mucky!
-As it is the case in most studios, whilst the rest of your piece will be glazed by us after the first firing, the base of your piece will remain bisque. This means it won’t be covered by glaze. 
-It takes about a month for your piece to come back to you. It needs to be fired twice and glazed before you can take it home!
