Push your limits and improve your throwing skills faster
Want to make major progress with your throwing technique in a short amount of time? During this intensive 3-day course, the focus is on practice, repetition, and building experience at the wheel. No production, no finished pieces to take home, but plenty of hands-on experience and new insights into your own throwing technique.

What can you expect as a beginner?
Over the course of three days, you’ll refine and improve your throwing skills through ten challenging exercises. Each exercise is designed to give you greater control over the clay and help you push your own limits. You’ll not only learn how to create different forms, but also how to improve your technique for lasting progress.

Dare to Throw Big
Have you always wanted to learn to throw big, but unsure if you can handle it? In this 3-day summer course, we'll guide you step by step in the process of throwing big. We start at the basics and gradually work towards throwing larger works, focusing on technique and conserving energy.

What to Expect as an advanced student?
We start from the beginning with preparing your clay and centering, ensuring no step is skipped. Then, you'll learn how to make it easier on yourself by applying the correct throwing speeds and techniques. We also focus on opening your work and how to lift to larger forms with the right technique and in different stages. Additionally, we cover joining two parts and working with larger quantities of clay.

What you’ll take home:

Although the main focus is on practice, you may choose one favourite piece per day for us to finish for you. We’ll trim, bisque fire, glaze it in a glossy white glaze, and fire it a second time. Your finished pieces will be ready to collect after approximately 5–6 weeks. Most importantly, you’ll take home a wealth of new experience and have taken your throwing technique to the next level.
