Using the potter’s wheel – learn to throw and turn a shallow bowl in stoneware with local ceramicist Kirsty Adams.
In this small class, you’ll have one-on-one tuition with Kirsty as she guides you through the process of transforming a lump of clay into a decorative bowl for your home.
After throwing, the bowl will then be taken away to Kirsty’s studio to be glazed and fired, and will be ready to collect back at the gallery at an arranged time.
