Wheel throwing

The process of working with ceramics takes time and patience. Over several weeks, you get introduced to different concepts, and learn to find your own way with clay.

Teapot masterclass with Will Keating

The course runs on Saturday November 15 and Sunday November 16 from 9.30 am to 4.30pm, with a further half day for glazing to be decided closer to the time of the course. A fresh vegetarian lunch is included. More information will be send one week in advance of the masterclass.

In this two-day workshop, students will learn how to make their own beautiful, functional teapot. Will breaks down the different elements involved, and students will learn how the body, spout, handle, lid and strainer are thrown and assembled to create a teapot which is a joy to use.

Having worked closely with tea practitioners in the past, Will pays careful attention to the finer details when crafting teapots in his own practice. The balance, proportions, the flow - all are carefully considered for the way in which they contribute to the meditative nature of tea.

To get the most out of this course, it is recommended for intermediate and advanced throwers only, as a degree of throwing experience is required.

Duration: 2.5 days
Price: SEK 2800, everything included

You will start your journey in pottery with the basics of wedging, centering, pulling up, shaping and trimming. You will be able to throw your first pieces! You will have moments during this course to reflect with your teacher and through the feedback of your fellow students you will be able to progress quickly.

During this course you will also learn how to glaze your pieces and we will fire them for you after glazing.

The main focus in a course is on techniques, the process and practicing. Not on producing as many pieces as possible (6 max). If you wish to continue making with ceramics, consider a membership during or after this course.
