The potter's wheel is one of the ancient techniques of ceramics and makes it possible to create concentric and symmetrical shapes using a rotating base. For four days, three hours a day, each participant will have their own electric wheel to learn how to center and shape different forms on the wheel. The advantage of taking part in an intensive potter's wheel workshop is that you can repeat, train and assimilate more consistently the movements and techniques needed to master this craft.
