Ata Ceramics Courses

Welcome to this 9 week term. Please note the price of Ata terms now includes GST.

This is a beginner wheel throwing class and can accomodate absolute beginners to those with a few terms under their belt. We will learn the fundamentals of the potter's wheel, how to make and alter cylinders (and then add handles) and in time, progress onto bowls.

Working together, we will be practicing to build your skill-set in the art and practice of wheel throwing as well as learning safe practices within the studio to set you on your way. Although we may not be making that particular tea-set you’ve been dreaming of, you will no doubt have some beautiful pieces at the end of the course to take home with you.

Clay is a lot of fun, so please bring your sense of humour and come prepared to get messy.

We have a maximum of 8 students in our classes, and it’s relaxed, supportive environment in which to learn.

Please bring:

• Apron/old clothes/overalls (as you will get clay on you!)
• Old shoes to wear
• A small wooden board (A4-ish in size) to take your work home on
• Plastic bags (delivered newspaper’s plastic sheaths are great)
• an old towel for your hands and lap
• a lidded container for collecting slops to recycling later
