The “Spin, Trim & Decorate” course offers an all-around introduction to pottery in two consecutive days. You will both learn the techniques of wheel throwing, trimming, modeling, and painting. This course is suitable for beginners as well as intermediates who want to make bigger pieces.

Day 1 – wheel throwing: 2 h
On the first day you will be guided through the wheel throwing process step by step. Whether you want to make a mug, a little vase, or a bowl is up to you. Depending on size, you will make 1-2 pieces.

Day 2 – Trimming, attaching: 2 h
painting: 1 h
The following day is divided into three sections: First, you will learn how to trim the bottom into a nice foot. Second, you will make handles and little figures and learn how to attach them to your pieces. Third and finally, you will brush paint your pieces with engobe.
