2-hour Taster session for 11-17s (cross generational) - Throwing on the Wheel

Learn the basics of throwing on the wheel: 

• This 2-hour, half term, workshop is for 11-17s who would like to have a first go at throwing on the wheel. 
• This is cross-generational. 11-17s can attend alone or if you prefer with an accompanying parent/adult

• You will try your hand at centering clay on the wheel and throwing a small cylinder.
• At the end of the session, you can pick your favourite pot which will be glazed and fired for you. 
• The cost of all materials and firing are included in your course fee.
• These sessions are intended for 11-17 year olds and their parents/carers where applicable. 
• NB For cross generational events parents/adults come as participants not observers so you need to purchase a ticket for both the adult and the 11-17 year old
