Learn to throw "off the hump".
Learn a new skill in this two part wheel throwing workshop.
So I bet you’re thinking, “What the heck is throwing off the hump?” Well, it’s a Japanese method of making pots on the pottery wheel from a large mound of clay. This method of throwing differs from the western style of throwing where we measure out our balls of clay and throw directly onto the wheel. Throwing off the hump offers a chance to be a little more experimental with our forms and allows us to make multiple pieces from the same mound of clay.
You’ll learn to knead larger amounts of clay, centre larger amounts of clay on the wheel and I will guide you through form exploration and surface decoration.
If that sounds like something you’d like to try then you’re in luck!
