Always wanted to experience working with the potter’s wheel, or need to brush up on your technique and knowledge of safety and communal studio etiquette?

Our 2 day Introduction to the Wheel workshop series led by local ceramicist Jacqui Sosnowski of SOSCERAMICS, is designed for those new to the wheel, who wish to learn the basics of throwing clay, and how to work independently in a communal studio. General safety processes will be covered, as well as an overview of basic tools and techniques, and how to work with clay safely in a studio environment.

Tools, materials, and a bisque firing of a selection of work made by participants during the series are included.

Beginners who have completed this introductory series will be eligible to apply for Ignite Ceramics studio membership, and book independent time on a wheel in the Ignite Ceramics Throwing Studio..

She has completed a Diploma in Ceramics and an Advanced Diploma in Visual Arts at Lismore TAFE and spends nearly all of her time in her Mullumbimby studio making and firing pots.
