"When will I be able to bring my pottery home?" 💭⁠
⁠
After you've spent time in our studios creating your ceramic masterpieces, they'll go through a process that takes time, care, and dedication...⁠
⁠
First, we carefully turn the feet on the pottery wheel when they're leatherhard. Then, each pot gets a thorough tidy-up with a sponge, ensuring perfection, and personalised with your initials.⁠
⁠
After that, they undergo a bisque firing to strengthen the clay. And finally, the grand finale – the glaze firing, where vibrant colours burst into life.⁠
⁠
Your pottery will be fired and glazed within six weeks, so you can arrange with us to either come and collect it or have it posted to your door! ⁠
⁠
Trust us, the wait is absolutely worth it when your precious creations arrive in their new home 🥰

This is one of the fundamental techniques in pottery and it's called 'throwing'. As the name alludes, it involves shaping clay on a rotating wheel to create various forms such as bowls, vases, and cups. This is one of the many different techniques you can learn in our Adult Weekly Classes. #throwingclay #potterytechniques #learnpottery #thrownpottery #thrownclay #throwingwheel #pottery_lovers #clay #handmade #chichester #selsey #westsussex #potterystudio #ceramics #potteryinspo #potteryinspiration
