Programme

This two-day, intermediate-level course will introduce students to techniques for making bottles and vases.   

• Day 1 will include throwing taller cylinders; collaring in and bellying out; combining these skills to create bottle or vase forms. 

• Day 2 will cover trimming techniques, including the use of chucks. 

You can choose up to six pots which will be glazed and fired for you.

Please note: this course will not cover the basics of centering, pulling up or trimming; participants need to be comfortable with these skills before signing up to the course.
