● The class

A first afternoon at the wheel. You will learn to centre clay, open it and pull up even walls, with a tutor beside you the whole time.

How the session runs.

Three steps, at your pace. Your tutor stays beside you the whole time.

Step 01

Wedge and centre

We start by kneading the clay and learning to find the centre of the spinning wheel. Most of the afternoon's magic happens here.

Step 02

Open and pull

You open the clay and pull up your first walls, slowly, with Mara at your side correcting your hands as you go.

Step 03

Trim and choose a glaze

Pick your two best pieces, choose a glaze from the studio wall, and we fire them for you over the next weeks.

Before you arrive.

Everything for the class is already on the bench. Here is what you will leave with, and the little you need to bring.

What you’ll make

Two small cylinders or bowls, glazed and fired for collection in about three weeks.

Throws every morning before the first class arrives.

I came in thinking I wasn't creative. By the end I'd made two little cylinders I'm absurdly proud of.
