Fancy deepening your experience on a potter’s wheel? Join our 4-days vases throwing course designed for those who already have a basic throwing skill and want to learn something new. Step by step you will explore how to create vases with wheel throwing.
DAY 1 – 2,5h – CYLINDER
It all starts with a good cylinder. Therefore first thing we will focus on building confidence in making tall and neat cylinders with balanced walls and practicing opening and closing a form.
DAY 2 – 2,5h – NECK
As challenging as it might be, a neck is an important touch of every vase and can greatly influence the look of a vase. In this class we delve into practicing throwing necks of a different form and size.
DAY 3 – 2,5h – FORMING
It’s the day! Having all the knowledge and experience from the first two days in our hands, we indulge in forming vases. If you happen to make some vases in the first two days, on this day we can also carve and decorate.
DAY 4 – 2h – GLAZING
Time to finalize our creations. We will glaze together the bisque works using different techniques such as dipping, pouring, layering choosing from the many glazes available in the studio.
Basic experience with wheel throwing is required – you should feel quite confident with centering clay and pulling up a cylinder.
During the course we will work with one kg of clay per vase.
Your glazed works will be fired at 1240 °C in 2-3 Weeks. You will be informed when they are ready for pick up.
Prices are per person.
