A one-off class to help you improve your cylinder throwing technique

"A well-made cylinder is the basis of a whole family of pottery forms and arguably the most important shape to learn to make. As musicians practise their scales, so potters make cylinders.”

The spotlight of this class will be on how to get more height from your cylinders, centering and throwing techniques, and how to make your pulls more efficient. We can also look at any issues you might have with uneven wall thickness or unlevel rims.

Clay and tools need to be purchased for this course. Glazing and firing is not offered.
