About this event
This course provides an introduction to the traditional ways of throwing a pot on a Leach Kick Wheel. The Leach Kick, or Treadle Wheel, was developed at the Leach Pottery through the 1920s and 30s. Based on traditional designs, it was eventually reproduced commercially and adopted by potters around the world. The design, and our historic wheels, are still very much used to this day.
The three day workshop takes place in the historic Leach Pottery, in the room where the old Leach Standard Ware was produced. There are four participants on the course with the Tutor using participants’ wheels for demonstrations. This course requires the ability to hop on and off of a kick wheel and to kick with your left leg. You’ll also meet our Museum visitors as they make their way around the Old Pottery.
