The workshop in detail
This course takes place over two days, with a duration of three hours each on Saturday and Sunday.
Bella's six-hour pottery workshop, spread over a weekend, is a comprehensive introduction to wheel throwing. Participants start by learning to prepare clay, a fundamental step in pottery. They then progress to creating and throwing cylinders and bowls on the pottery wheel, gaining hands-on experience with these essential techniques.
The workshop continues on the second day with more advanced skills, including pulling and attaching handles and trimming pots on the wheel. This allows participants to refine their creations and add personal touches.
The course includes the glazing and firing of each participant's three best pieces, which Bella will complete. The finished pottery will be available for collection six weeks later, offering participants a chance to see their work transformed into glazed and fired pieces.
Overall, Bella's workshop provides an enriching experience in pottery making, from basic preparation to the finishing touches of glazing and firing.
