The basics
These are a fun and safe introduction to throwing and are proving to be very popular. I do a number of throwing days each month – usually Fridays and Saturdays – which can book up quickly. These sessions are perfect for individuals or small groups/ families each taking turns at throwing. My prices are per session, rather than per person, as I teach 1 person at a time. Glazing typically takes about 6 weeks as it requires drying, bisque & glaze firing. All creations are dishwasher safe.
​
The taster sessions are held at my studio in central St Albans : I’ll do a demo, then be close on hand with tips and help. Make as many pots as you like during that time, and I'll fire your best pieces.
