Workshop Throwing
Want to try out throwing on the wheel once and for all, or maybe with a partner or group of friends? Then this is the workshop for you and a good place to start. During this workshop, you will learn the very first step of throwing on the wheel- creating a pot out of a ball of clay (centering, making the floor, pulling up walls) as well as the glazing of your pots (to give them color and make them waterproof).
Part 1 (2,5 hours) of the workshop entails throwing some small bowls from a ball of clay (approx. 10cm diameter). These pots (maximum 3) will be trimmed by Tessa and then bisque fired after which they are ready to be glazed! During Part 2 of the workshop (2,5 hours, minimum 3 weeks later due to drying/firing) you can choose from any of the glazes available in the studio and glaze your own pieces. If you are interested to continue throwing as a hobby and improve your skills you can follow up with the Beginner Throwing Course.
Price: 2 part workshop (5 hrs total) for €125 p.p. This is including all materials, firing (3 pieces), glazes, and coffee/tea.
Availability: For individual participants, please contact me to be put on the waiting list. For groups of 2 or more, please contact me to plan the workshop in. Part 2 of the workshop takes place during an open studio block after a minimum of 3 weeks, please see the possible days/times on the open studio page. We can discuss what fits best during the Part 1.
