| One week summer courses |
| |
| These are offered for various dates in July and August. They are aimed at those who are looking for lots of intensive supervised practice of the basic skills - throwing, handling, turning, and also glazing and decorating. |
| |
| A lot of experience in the diagnosis of throwing problems has accumulated here over the years, and a wide-ranging set of remedies has developed! Students usually discover that there is a way to move on to another level of throwing skill after all - and have a lot of fun in the process! |
| |
 |
| |
| There will be no more than five students in a group, with an electric wheel for each person. |
| |
| A wood firing weekend extension is offered for some courses. Alternatively, work may be left at the pottery to be fired and collected later. |
| |
| Dates for 2012 |
| |
| Mon 16th to Fri 20th July |
| Mon 30th July to Fri 3rd August |
| |
| The cost for 2012 will be £310. Fired pots charged by weight (!), otherwise materials included in the cost of the course. |

| DVD, ‘Rings of Clay’ |
| |
| There is now a DVD, ‘Rings of Clay’, filmed in the workshop at Hookshouse, which covers most of the basic principles and techniques of throwing. This is not just a demonstration by the master potter, it faces up to the real difficulties which real students encounter, and offers diagnosis and cure. Very useful to give a taste of what the teaching approach is at Hookshouse, or to act as a reminder of things you have already been taught here or elsewhere. |
| |
| The cost is£10, and you can order a copy by phone or email. |
