Wheel Throwing

The Wheel Throwing Course aims to create objects made through the technique of ceramic throwing. With a teacher’s guide over six lessons, each of the participants will develop and explore the skills needed to work with clay on the wheel. Students will learn and experiment with basic techniques - from centering the clay to shaping and turning – resulting in the creation of everyday objects with simple shapes such as bowls, cylindrical jars, vessels and cups. The last lesson will be entirely dedicated to the glazing of the objects made by the individual participants before their firing. Once firing is complete, students are welcome to come pick up their finished pieces. The course includes materials, the exclusive use of a wheel workstation and the final firing of the wheel thrown pieces. At the discretion of the teacher, the most interesting creations will be proposed to be published on Officine Saffi social media accounts.
