Five-day throwing course at the Leach Pottery
Spread across a full working week, this hands-on throwing course at the Leach Pottery in St Ives takes you through wheel techniques for a range of vessel forms, with a focus on both technical foundations and your own developing style. Sessions are kept to small groups, so you'll receive personal tuition alongside guided demonstrations. Expect time at the wheel, an introduction to the Leach shapes, and challenges designed to sharpen economy and control — including throwing a pot in as few pulls as possible. The course suits those with some wheel experience who want to deepen their practice in a working pottery studio. Several dates are available across autumn and winter 2026; contact the Leach Pottery directly to discuss which might suit you.
