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.

PROGRAM CONTENT

Kneading and preparing the paste for forming on the wheel
Learn to center, pull and form different shapes on the wheel, from open and closed bowls, plates with and without flaps, cylindrical shapes with and without necks and with and without curves.

Included are the firing and glazing of 8 hand-scale pieces that will have to be picked up later - extra pieces can be fired and glazed from €0.85/unit (the price varies according to the size of the piece)
