About this event
Develop throwing skills by focusing on efficiency and speed in production pottery, while gaining an insight into the Leach Studio approach of production throwing. This course is taught to a small group of 4 participants.
This course will focus on production pottery and throwing repeat forms to a consistently strong standard.
Participants will:
– focus on repeating the same form to achieve consistency
– learn techniques to increase speed and efficiency
– explore the balance of form and function
– learn about weight and measurements in relation to size
– Undertake exercises that encourage minimal steps in throwing and tool use.
At the beginning of this course, there will be a short introduction to production pottery, the tools that are most effective, workspace set-up, and clay preparation.
The tutor will then explore the learning points through a series of demonstrations followed by individual practice underpinned by guidance and support. The tutor will encourage the consideration of each stage of making, filtering out unnecessary use of tools and movements with an aim to achieve a deliberate and direct approach towards making and an improvement in production, quality, and consistency.
By the end of this course, you will have practiced repeating the same forms to specific measurements, have a sound understanding of the most effective methods for repeat production throwing, and improved your skills. Due to the building project at the Leach Pottery this course does not offer the opportunity to see the production studio at the Leach Pottery.
