THROWING MASTERCLASS COURSE
30 tuition videos across 7 modules providing you with everything you need to improve and develop your pottery throwing skills.
“I wanted to put together a complete course of all the techniques I’ve been teaching over the years and provide students with the opportunity to have a full catalogue of detailed tutorials, available to learn from, and refer back to, on an ongoing basis.
The course goes through everything from the fundamentals of how to throw a simple pot, to much more complex forms and techniques. We look at the typical challenges people face at each stage of making a pot and how these can be dealt with.
Whether you’re just starting pottery and wanting to learn new skills, A skilled potter looking to level up, or a maker who is struggling with certain aspects of throwing, the course caters for all of these scenarios.”
