Experience the fundamentals of ceramics in a professional studio environment at Bath Spa Universitys Locksbrook Campus during this Throwing Ceramics workshop. This hands-on taster workshop offers a relaxed and supportive introduction to working with clay on the potters wheel. Led by experienced Ceramic Demonstrator Louise Blois, youll learn essential wheel-throwing techniques and create your own pottery pieces to take home.

During the session, you'll learn how to centre clay on the potters wheel, how to create bowls, plates, and vessels and how to decorate your work using a selection of decorative slips.

By the end of the workshop, youll have produced a selection of ceramic pieces which will be glazed and kiln-fired for you, ready for collection approximately three to four weeks later.
