For those ready to take their wheel throwing skills to the next level. Led by the highly experienced wheel thrower and founder of Clay Wollongong, Hannah Barclay

Hannah has over 12 years of experience working with clay and specialises with Wheel Thrown techniques. She is an accomplished Visual Artist working with ceramic sculpture and installation and has a wealth of knowledge which she is eager to share with all her students. 

This class is ideal for those with a foundational knowledge of wheel throwing, who are interested in expanding their skills and experience.  We'll experiment with larger sizes, and new techniques.

+ Structure

This course has a focus on manipulating your clay into larger pieces with a focus on throwing sections of clay together. 

Week one - We will design a series of vessels and learn how to break them down into sections that can be thrown on the wheel.

Week two - Continue with our vessels and learn how to join together using measurements and understanding consistency of clay. 

Week three and four - Continue our project 

Week five - exploring throwing off the hump

Week six - we come together for a glazing session to turn our masterpieces into fully functional ceramics.
