What Is a Wheel Throwing Taster Workshop?
Wheel throwing is one of the most recognisable pottery techniques, where clay is shaped on a spinning wheel to form items such as bowls, cups, and small vessels.
This taster workshop is designed to give you a clear, hands-on introduction to the process. You will learn how to centre clay, control the wheel, and shape your first piece under expert guidance.
If you are new to ceramics, this is the ideal starting point before progressing to longer courses such as our 6-week intermediate course.
