6 week Wheel Throwing course at arc with Dragi Jankovic
The wheel throwing course will cover the foundation techniques of wedging clay, throwing basic cup or bowl forms, trimming, adding handles, and glazing. This course is a great introduction (or a refresher!) to working on the wheel, and working in a community studio. There will be ongoing demonstrations and plenty of work time.
The first five classes of each course will involve some theory on the properties of clay and instruction on working directly with clay and the 6th class will be a glazing class after works have been bisque fired.
All six-week clay classes include access Studio time during open hours, Thursday to Sunday 12 noon to 4pm for non members and unlimited access for members for the duration of the course. Bookings in advance and Conditions apply. No prior experience with clay necessary; this course is open to everyone
Participants are welcome to attend a gas kiln stacking day and a firing day which will occur at the completion of the course free of charge.
For members and regular uses of the ceramic studio attending a kiln packing and fitting will be an opportunity to be inducted into the safe use of the gas kiln under the supervision of Dragi to accrue hours that will contribute to a facility certified independent use of the gas kiln.
