Service Description

Coil throwing is a hybrid technique that blends hand-building and slow wheel work. During this one-day workshop, you’ll learn how to create bold, expressive forms by stacking large coils of clay directly on your wheel. It’s one of Catalina's favorite techniques : it invites slowness, flow, and focus. It opens up new possibilities for volume and texture, allowing you to create pieces with presence and character. You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece, whether functional or sculptural, up to 40 cm tall. 🔅 PROGRAM 🔅 Throughout the day, you’ll explore how to: 👉 Roll and prepare strong, even coils 👉 Build up your form layer by layer on the wheel 👉 Control proportions, shape tension, and wall thickness 👉 Smooth, refine, or texture your surfaces 🔅 PRICE 🔅 🔸 The price includes all the clay, the studio tools and the full day of guidance. 🔸 The firings and time required for glazing your work are not included in the workshop fee. (See the "Glazing & Finishing" section below) You’ll have two options: 🔥 Have your piece fired at Studio Kiwi (price based on volume) 🧳 Take your piece home to fire it elsewhere (e.g., another studio or school) 🔅 SMALL GROUP 🔅 We keep the group to a maximum of 6 participants, ensuring a hands-on experience and plenty of individual guidance. That’s just 12 hands at work, all centered around clay. 🔅 GLAZING & FINISHING 🔅 About 15 days after the workshop, your piece will be bisque-fired to 950°C (if you decided you wanted it fired at Studio Kiwi). You’ll then be invited to glaze it at your own pace : 🔸 If you haven't glazed in our studio, sign up for a Glazing Intro Class (more info in our "Intro Courses" menu). 🔸 If you've already been introduced to glazing in our studio, book a table during a Member Session (with or without a Membership Pass). ⚠️ TERMS AND CONDITIONS ⚠️ 🔸 If you'd like to refine your piece after the workshop, you can book time during a Member Session (table or wheel) – this is not included in the course fee. 🔸 Please review our cancellation policy carefully below.
