Welcome to this 10 week term.

This is a class where you can learn the basics of wheel throwing from preparing clay to centering, making cylinders which are the basis of many forms and then, in time bowls. There are some people in this class who have done previous terms at Ata and some who will be complete beginners.

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

PAYMENT: Please note we are changing our payment system at Ata.
Please pay your class fees to: Coralie Winn, 03 1700 0355210 000

As I will now be overseeing payments, in order to reduce my administrative burden, it is my preference that you pay in one up front payment. If this is a barrier to you being able to do pottery classes, I can accept partial payment (2 half payments) but I ask that you please check this with me first.

Please include your class as a reference, i.e. WED PM and pay BEFORE term begins, Thanks for your attention to this, I appreciate it,
