Would you like to try throwing ceramics on the wheel? I offer sessions for up to two people at a time in my garden shed studio in Wood Green.

Duration and content
Lessons are between 1-3 hours.

I demonstrate the throwing of a simple cylinder before you get to have a go, with me on hand at all times for instruction and to help with some of the trickier aspects!

Sessions for two people will allow each person a chance to sit at the wheel while the other can watch or take photos.

I will then glaze your pot and fire it at a later date, or we can also arrange for you to return to complete some other aspects of the making process, such as trimming and decorating if desired.

Materials
All lessons will be conducted using the same porcelain that I use for my work, so you will end up with a lovely luminous white pot.

We might even be able to add a little brush stroke or two of colour if you want! It will then be glazed in a transparent glossy glaze.

Location
My slightly ramshackle studio is located at the bottom of my garden in Wood Green in London, near the Wolves Lane Centre. It is easily accessible by bus (the 141, 121 and W4 all drop off at either end of our road) or it is a 10 minute walk from either Wood Green tube station or Bowes Park overground station.

Timing
Because my studio is an actual garden shed it is very cold! So I generally hold lessons only during the slightly warmer months, from April-October. However, if you are very keen to wrap up and handle cold clay during the winter, I am happy to be flexible!

Lessons are held at the weekend. When you are ready to book your session just let me know when you would like to come and we will find a date that works for us both, but it is best to plan ahead as far as possible.
