4-Day Intermediate Wheel Throwing Class(Töpferscheibe-Workshop für Fortgeschrittene)

Workshop Overview

Do you want to take your skills to the next level?

Have you already mastered the basic techniques of the potter's wheel and can throw small cups and bowls, but feel hesitant about making large plates or vases? Then you need advanced techniques.

In this intensive intermediate workshop, you will learn the techniques you want to master, including how to throw wheel objects between 1-1.5 kg. Bring your goals, whether it's wide plates or tall vases.

You will be guided through the techniques you want to learn so that after this workshop, you understand the principles and can apply them independently.

Day 1: Bring one technique you want to master (e.g., plate, vase), and we will start learning the principles. During practice, you will be guided to improve your posture and technique.

Day 2: You will continue practicing your chosen technique. You will be guided and support throughout the process.

Day 3: Special shapes, like flat plates or tall vases, require appropriate trimming techniques. You will be guided on how to apply these techniques.

Day 4: After about two weeks, your final pieces will be bisque fired and ready for glazing. Naturally, extreme shapes and large pieces require specific glazing techniques. You will be advised on which glazing techniques to use.
