Ceramics – Essential Throwing Skills Course

Develop the core wheel-throwing techniques that underpin successful pottery in this skills-focused ceramics course. Through demonstrations, practical exercises and creative challenges, you’ll learn to centre, open, pull and shape clay while building confidence and control at the wheel. This course is ideal for both first-time throwers and experienced potters looking to improve their throwing skills. Beginners will learn the key techniques needed to get started on the wheel and begin making successful pots, while those with more experience can focus on refining their practice, improving consistency and pushing their work further, creating taller, thinner and more elegant forms.

Working in our fully equipped ceramics studio, you’ll create a range of wheel-thrown stoneware pieces, professionally fired and glazed for everyday use. Whether you’re building foundations or honing your craft, this course offers the opportunity to develop your skills and grow as a potter.
