Wheel Throwing Course

Pottery wheel throwing may appear effortless, but the initial attempts can be surprisingly challenging. Throwing on the wheel is fast-paced, messy, and delightful. Successful centering and pulling up walls require a calm mind and steady movements. Engaging in wheel throwing immerses you in hands-on creation and the present moment effortlessly. Throughout the hour, emotions may shift from initial frustration to determination and finally to the joy of accomplishment. During the course, you'll receive the support you need to create a successful piece from a skilled teacher.

The course fee includes instruction, materials, firings, base treatment, and glazing with glaze suitable for food use. The price includes VAT 25,5 %. Participation does not require prior experience in pottery.

•     Finished pieces can be picked up from the Septaria store two weeks after the course day.

Pottery with Slab Technique

In the slab technique course, everyone easily creates cups, mugs, or plates for personal use. Designing pottery sparks imagination, and crafting offers a relaxing way to focus on the moment. Pottery made from stoneware clay withstands both dishwasher and microwave. At the beginning of the course, the teacher demonstrates making a bowl, and soon everyone gets to sink their fingers into the clay. If you already have an idea for the pottery you want, you can ask the instructor for assistance in realizing your idea.

Sculpture Course
