〰️ 4 Day Level 2 Throwing Course at Clay Works Studios 〰️

A very busy and successful 4 days of working with 8 individuals as they progress their throwing skills. The emphasis was on scaling up and repeating the same shape, but we also covered, different shapes of bowls, jugs, pulling handles, lids and galleries, bottles and many more techniques and tips in the mix.

Thank you to the lovely group of people for all the positive feedback, and to those of you who came back for more!

You can now book your next throwing experience with us in 2027 through our new website, link in bio.

〰️ What a great long weekend at Clay Works, taking part in Open Studios, Spring Fling 2026 ! Grateful to all the visitors, all the chat, shared stories and the gorgeous sunshine! We did also manage to clear some shelves in the studio - ready for more pots.
Absolute FOMO and envy of all those who got to travel round the region and meet the many incredible artists and craftsmen who live & work in the beautiful D&G! So glad to be part of the creative community here - we honestly feel so lucky!
