4-Week Course at Stoker Studio
So you’ve mastered the basics — now it’s time to take your pottery to the next level! This 4-week “Next Steps in Clay” course is designed for those who’ve completed a beginner’s class and are ready to build confidence, consistency, and creative flair on the wheel.
Over four weeks, you’ll refine your throwing technique, learn to make matching forms, and explore new ways to bring personality and polish to your pieces.
What you’ll learn:
Throwing with consistency – refine your technique to create even, repeatable forms in matching sizes and shapes.
Handles & lids – learn to pull and attach handles, and craft perfectly fitting lids for mugs, jars, and teapots.
Decorative techniques – experiment with slip, carving, texture and coloured underglazes to elevate your work.
Finishing & form – tips on trimming, surface refinement and glazing choices to make your pieces shine.
Design thinking – plan your pieces with intention, balancing form and function while finding your personal style.
By the end of the course, you’ll have developed the confidence to create a cohesive set of pieces and the skills to move toward intermediate throwing with ease.
Who it’s for:
Students who’ve completed a beginner wheel course and want to refine their technique, explore creative finishing, and build more control at the wheel — without feeling rushed into advanced forms.
What’s included:
All materials, firing, and glazes are provided. Bring your curiosity, sense of humour, and willingness to get muddy!~
This course is designed for beginners who are curious about clay and would like to dip their toes into the art of wheel throwing.
Over the course of four weeks, our experienced teachers will guide you through the basics of forming and finishing vessels made on the wheel including wedging clay, centring, pulling up, turning and glazing.
Expect to make some lovely pieces for home including Mugs, travel cups, tumblers, Jars, small vases.
