Wheel Throwing Course

Wheel Throwing Course & Individual Sessions

"In the middle of the night, a woman sits alone at a pottery wheel. Her boyfriend, shirtless, approaches, sits behind her, and reaches out his hand, accidentally ruining her pot. His hands interlaced with hers, stroking the wet clay. He begins kissing her, and she leaps into his arms, the pottery wheel abandoned in the heat of passion." This is the scene from the Ghost movie everyone have in mind when they think of pottery.

We can't offer you the same experience but we guarantee you will enjoy the world of clay at Mitra Ceramic House.

The Wheel throwing Course includes 6 sessions which you will learn about:

  • Different clay types

  • Wedging clay

  •  Centering, Opening and making cylinders

  • Trimming a pot & texturing

  •  Making forms like bowls, vases, and plates.  

 

There is an option of buying individual sessions if you only want to get a taste of throwing a pot on the wheel.

To make it more convenient for you, the course dates are not fixed. If the advertised dates on the website is not suitable for you, please contact us for other arrangements.

Hand Building Course & Individual Sessions

Hand building beginners Course is a 6 week course that you will learn about:​
