Come and spend some time in the Fubsies studio and give pottery wheel throwing a go!
In this 2 hour workshop you'll get hands-on tuition and learn the basics of throwing on the pottery wheel. The session is led by experienced potter, Ruth, who will give you her advice and knowledge to help you get to grips with this fun and creative skill.
During the session, you will see a throwing demonstration from Ruth and then you will be free to throw as many pots as you like in the remaining time. Usually, participants throw 2-3 pots during the workshop.
From the pieces you have made you will then pick your favourite one and Ruth will trim, glaze and finish your pot in the following weeks. If you have your heart set on taking more of your wonderful creations home you can have them processed for an extra £7 each which can be paid on the day. Postage can also be paid if you want to have your pots delivered to you once they are finished.
What can I expect from this experience?
Wheel throwing is a messy and wonderful way to unwind and let go! This workshop is open to anyone and everyone who wants to give it a try. This session would make an excellent date idea or a fun activity to come along and try solo.
Please, bear in mind, for this session to go ahead there needs to be a minimum of 2 participants attending. Your host will be in touch to confirm your booking as soon as this is the case. If they need to reschedule for another session you will be given a minimum of 7 days notice.
Please note: Once the session has finished your pieces will need to be left to dry out before going through two separate kiln firings and a layer of shiny transparent glaze. All of this processing will be done by Ruth and will take approx 6 weeks to complete. You will be contacted once your pieces are ready to collect.
