8-Week Wheel: Advancing Your Practice

This is an 8-week course designed for anyone looking to strengthen their wheel-throwing foundations and build more consistency in their practice.

Over the course of 8 sessions, students will deepen their understanding of wheel throwing through a series of focused exercises and practical challenges, developing greater control, consistency, and confidence across both functional and repeated forms.

The course is open to all levels, but a basic familiarity with wheel throwing is recommended, as sessions will focus on developing technique through repeated exercises and guided practice rather than step-by-step beginner instruction.

The course combines different approaches to help you build confidence, improve control, and develop a stronger understanding of form. It’s ideal for students who want to build a solid foundation for wheel throwing, gain more consistency, and prepare for intermediate-level.

The course will be led by Master potter Dylan Cremins. Starting on Sunday, August 30th, 18:00 for 8 sessions. The cost is 290€ (including VAT) for 8 session.
