Great gift for beginners, or clay enthusiasts who want to brush up on their skills!
Level 2 is designed for makers who already feel comfortable with the basics and are ready to take things further. This course focuses heavily on improving your throwing technique, refining your centring, pulling, shaping, and consistency, while also introducing more advanced challenges like throwing larger amounts of clay, making sets, exploring lids, spouts, and handles, or developing more complex handbuilt elements to combine with thrown forms.
You’ll work with more independence while still receiving tailored, one-to-one support to help you progress. Whether you want to improve form and finesse, explore new shapes, deepen your understanding of clay, or build towards a personal project, Level 2 gives you the space, structure, and guidance to meaningfully level up your practice.
