Join our experienced teachers in our wheel-throwing course at Mayfield Pottery School. Embark on a journey of creativity and skill-building. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the art of wheel-throwing or an experienced thrower wanting to enhance your techniques, our six-week course is perfect for you.
You'll delve into the basics of wheel-throwing. You'll start by familiarising yourself with clay and the step-by-step process of creating beautiful ceramic ware. Discover the techniques of centering clay on the wheel, learn how to throw cylinder and bowl forms, and master the art of turning and trimming the bases of your creations.
We'll also dive into the exciting realm of final decoration options, including underglaze and glazing, to add that personal touch to your work.
Please bring your own apron.
Joining Mayfield Pottery is not only an opportunity to learn a new skill, but it's also a chance to take some time out for yourself. The tactile nature of clay can be therapeutic, providing a sense of relaxation and calm.
At the end of the course, you'll have the satisfaction of taking home your own handmade ceramic pieces to use or display at home!

Two siblings, Sally and Michael, restored a mid century warehouse in Abbotsford to create a ceramics studio, wood workshop and boutique cinema and invited anyone and everyone to share the space! Now the whole family helps out, inviting people to share in creating a creative and inclusive experience for anyone who needs 20 seconds of inspiration to fuel their day.
“We had this idea to create a place where we could do the things we like doing, and then we thought … hey, maybe other people would like some space to do something they like too…”
