Two-hour wheel throwing session at the potter’s wheel, held at our studio at Bullhouse Mill near Penistone. This is a fantastic way to dive into all things clay and throwing at the wheel, led by Matt, an experienced and patient instructor. There are only 4 slots available in each session so the group sizes are small, with lots of hands on instruction.
Times: Saturday 25th April, 11am - 1pm or 2pm to 4pm.
Price: £80 per person.
The Workshop:
This workshop is intended for complete beginners or those who have covered the basics but would like to consolidate their skills. This is a lovely activity to do with friends, colleagues, to celebrate a birthday or to enhance any existing experience at the wheel.
All materials, tools and firing costs are included. One piece may be kept to be finished by us then fired. You can choose which glaze you’d like us to use - which can then be shipped out to you or collected from our studio.
Who will be teaching the class? The workshops are taught by Matt, potter and co-founder of Pottery West. Matt is a patient teacher with lots of technical expertise, and has recently co-authored a book all about designing and making tableware at the wheel.
How many people are in the class? A maximum of 4 people, with a wheel per person and lots of assistance.
Where is the studio? The studio is located at Bullhouse Mill, a beautiful rural located a few miles from Penistone, also near Holmfirth.
We’re very excited to announce our book, ‘Designing and Making Tableware at The Wheel’, published by Crowood Press.
Practical and accessible, personal and technical, this inspiring book is invaluable for all makers, whatever their experience, who want to create wheel-thrown tableware. It is written by Catherine and Matt West who share the knowledge and passion so evident in their own work, and explores the overlapping notions of craft, design and small-batch production. Richly illustrated with over 300 photos and with detailed step-by-step sequences, it celebrates the slow-nature of making by hand and explains how to make consistent pieces that add joy and meaning to the table.
