8 & 10 week throwing courses
These are purely throwing courses, for those looking to hone their skills on the potters wheel. You’ll be taken through a series of exercises designed to rid you of bad habits and move you forward with your technique. There will also be time to work on your own projects and answer specific questions.
These courses usually have a waiting list. To register your interest in future throwing courses please email: info@thekilnrooms.com
Occasionally there’s last minute spaces available, which are posted on the link below:
These courses will guide you through exercises to improve your technique and eliminate bad habits. During the first few weeks, you’ll learn to throw cylinders, footed bowls, plates, and lidded vessels, as well as techniques like repetition throwing and pulling handles. An introduction to glazing and surface decoration will also be provided.
In the later sessions, you’ll have time for working on personal projects and receive tailored support. There will be the opportunity to glaze your work for collection or, if preferred, continue practicing at the wheel, with bisque firing available for your pieces.
Our 10 week throwing courses take place on Sunday or Thursday mornings, 10am-1pm. They’re slightly longer, meaning you’ll receive a couple more weeks of support and time to work on your personal projects.
Our 8 week throwing courses take place at our Copeland Park studio in Peckham on a Saturday morning, 10am – 1pm, & at our Farringdon studio on a Sunday morning, 10am – 1pm. These are slightly smaller groups. You’ll cover the all the same stuff, but it’s a slightly shorter course!
