You will receive as much or as little direct assistance as you need in order to help you to succeed. I have a maximum of two students at each session to enable me to give you my full attention Your session includes choosing your 2 best pots if on a one person session or 2 pots each, if on a two person session. These will be glazed and fired with the glazes of your choice, they will be ready for collection within 3-4 weeks. *Please note this is for adults only and the Health & Safety maximum weight limit to use a seated potters wheel as advised by the manufacturers is 20 stone. *You will need to able to sit at the wheel (see photo's) for most of the 2hr session and be at a normal level of strength and stamina. *Max 2 people. *Sessions can be arranged for week days or at weekends, just let me know. * VERY IMPORTANT- PLEASE NOTE It takes a certain amount of strength and stamina to throw, so it is perhaps not suited to those who might find it difficult to sit for 2 hours or who have a very limited upper body strength.
