Repetition Throwing   $175      NEW COURSE A 6-week course commencing Friday 8th August. Basic throwing skills are required. Covers the use of tools and techniques for repetition throwing while exploring design elements for a range of tableware. Students will begin by making a cup and saucer, examining all elements of the form, eg foot-ring, rim, handle, quality of the curve. By repeat throwing these two items students will explore their own variations of the elements of form and through this process become comfortable with the features until they become unified. This will be transferred to other vessels, eg plates and bowls, giving a range of work with a family resemblance.

General course details.

• Handbuilding incorporates the use of coiling, modelling and slab-building techniques to manipulate clay into more free-form pieces.

• Wheelwork involves learning throwing and associated skills on the potter's wheel. You will be taught how to centre clay and pull up a basic cylinder. This form is the stepping stone to more complex shapes such as bowls, plates, etc., which are covered in the latter part of the course.

• In all classes you will learn to wax, decorate and glaze your pots and although the work is fired for you, a fundamental knowledge of the firing process will be gained.

• The adult course firing charge is $4.40 per kg. This includes bisque (first) firing, glaze firing, and use of glazes. A range of clays is available for purchase with prices from $10.35 per 10kg bag. Tools are also available for purchase.

• A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your place in a class.
