Beginner Throwing Course 2025

Have you tried throwing before and fallen in love with it? Or have always wanted to try it out and learn all the steps of the process? This course will give you a good basic introduction of what throwing entails. The process of throwing always consists of 3 steps: first is throwing (where you create a pot out of a ball of clay), the second is trimming (where you refine the shape and create the foot ring), and lastly the glazing to finish off your pots, decorate, give them color, and make them waterproof / foodsafe.

During this 8 week course (2,5hrs per week), you will learn the basics of all these steps which are each very important on their own. With a maximum of 5 participants, there is much room for personal attention during each session so that you can learn as much as possible. After this introduction, you will have enough basic knowledge to continue your throwing practice during open studio. 

Price: 8 week course (20 hours) for €440 p.p. This is including all materials, firing (maximum 10 pieces; additional pieces can be fired for an extra fee), coffee/tea. Participants are welcome from 12 years old. 

Availability: This course will move forward once a minimum of 4 participants have registered. Booking is confirmed once payment is received. Please read the FAQs for information about cancellation / parking / clothing etc.
