Introduction to
Throwing on the Potter's Wheel
A weekend of focus, letting go, laughter, clay everywhere, trial and error, where everything else fades away, as if on another planet.
"Throwing" (the art of using a potter's wheel) is a technique that requires patience and practice to master. During these two intensive days, you’ll dive into the world of wheel throwing and learn the fundamental skills to start your creative journey.
Course Program
In the first part of the course, you’ll learn how to wedge the clay to remove air bubbles, center it on the wheel, and create the essential form of all pottery: the cylinder! In the second part, you’ll explore the art of trimming by turning your pieces upside down on the wheel to carve the feet of your bowls and cups, letting delicate ribbons of clay fly.
After this immersive experience, you’ll have the opportunity to book a wheel during member sessions to continue practicing, as only regular practice will lead to mastery of this art.
Language
The course will be conducted in English, with communication available in French if needed.
Small Group
The workshop is limited to 6 participants, ensuring personalized attention and a supportive learning environment.
Become a Studio Member After the Course
Once the course is completed, you’ll be invited to join our studio’s member community, where you can access our Membership Passes. This will allow you to continue practicing what you’ve learned and bring your unique and original creations to life.
