Intermediate to Advanced Wheel Throwing Classes
Ready to take your pottery skills to the next level? Our Intermediate to Advanced Wheel Throwing Classes at The Northern Pottery are designed for students who have already mastered the basics and are eager to refine their techniques. This course is ideal for those who have completed at least two beginner-level courses with us or have equivalent experience elsewhere.
What You’ll Learn
In this 8-week course, you’ll :
-
Tackle more complex and larger forms, including lidded vessels, plates, and vases.
-
Develop techniques for throwing with precision and repetition.
-
Learn to use specialist tools for intricate details and finishing.
-
Explore advanced surface decoration and glazing techniques.
-
Begin to define your personal design style and signature touch.
Each class includes guided demonstrations and hands-on practice, ensuring you progress at your own pace while pushing the boundaries of your creativity. Each term will have a specific guided project to work on with some scope to integrate your own creativity. This is not an open studio style class.
