The session

What it’s about.

An unhurried, hands-on session with Deepali. You'll start with hand-building — pinching and coiling — to get a feel for how clay behaves, then move to the wheel to learn centring and throwing a simple bowl or cup. Deepali keeps the group small so everyone gets time at the wheel and real feedback, not just a demonstration.

What you’ll do

  1. 1Getting to know clay: wedging, moisture, and why it cracks
  2. 2Hand-building: a pinch pot and a coil piece
  3. 3Wheel time: centring, opening and pulling up a small bowl or cup
  4. 4Trimming, finishing and signing your piece
You leave with

Your pieces are dried and can be fired; ask us about firing and collection times.

Included

  • Clay, tools and wheel time
  • Aprons
  • Guidance from Deepali throughout

Bring

  • Clothes that can get clay on them
  • Short nails help — long nails make the wheel harder
FAQ
