This Bradwell-on-sea pottery course provides six sessions running through all hand-building techniques, throwing on the wheel, slab building, hand sculpting with coils and decorating and with glazes.  Pottery course outline: Week 1 : Intro to clay - Pinching pots is the first technique you get your teeth into. Finishing off with glaze samples for future use. Week 2: Preparing the perfect slab for structural creations for slab creation.  Week 3: Coiling -  something of your chose  Week 4: Throwing , I will show you how to throw on the wheel. I believe that throwing is a skill that evolves at your own pace and with lots of practice, after the demo you can practice more on the wheel if you wish so or can carry. Week 5: Glazing! You’ll be glazing all your pieces either with brush-on or pouring or dipping techniques depending on the shape and size of your pieces.
