Finished a beginners’ class and joined WPA but still feel wobbly on the wheel? This course is designed to help you consolidate the fundamentals and build confidence through repetition and guided practice.

Over four sessions, James Dickman will revisit core wheel-throwing skills while introducing alternative approaches to centring, pulling walls, and trimming. Each session begins with a short refresher demo, followed by plenty of supported practice time and targeted, individual feedback to help you work through specific sticking points.

The emphasis is on learning how to throw, not on producing finished work — expect to practise, experiment, and squish more than a few pots along the way. In the final session, students can collectively choose a shape or technique for Ingrid to demonstrate, based on what they’d like to focus on most.
