Learn the second step in the process of making pottery on the wheel - trimming (or 'turning' as it is also known)
Trimming is the process of refining the shape of your pot and getting it to a standard ready to be fired. It involves literally 'trimming' away excess clay, adding foot rings, defining the final shape and adding handles and surface texture where required.
If you've attended our Intro to Wheel-throwing workshop or Beginner Plus Wheel-Throwing workshop, you'll work on your own pots in this session. However, you do not need to have attended a past workshop to attend this class. We will have pots ready for you to work on!
In this trimming class you'll learn:
- How to measure the wall and base thickness of a pot
- How to add a foot ring to your pot
- How to centre and attach your pot to the wheel for trimming
- How to trim, plus various trimming techniques
- Techniques for adding surface texture
Please note, we are working with already formed pots; we aren't throwing pots on the wheel in this class.
Class sizes are small (3-4 people), so you're guaranteed to receive personalised guidance and plenty of hands-on assistance.
The course includes:
- Full tuition
- All tools and materials
- One-on-one feedback and assistance
- Option to keep up to two pieces of work - for you to continue working on in our Glazing workshop, or to be glazed by Lucy Jane Ceramics for collection at a later date (or shipping at an additional cost)
- Firing of work
Our pottery workshops and courses are held at our home studio, located in Porepunkah, VIC.
