Advancing Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (13 Oct 2026)

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The primary reason and focus of this course is to reinforce and refine the skills already developed by students, whilst providing them with the opportunity to practice, challenge and extend their abilities into new areas of interest.

In the first half of the course, following previous lesson formats, students will be initially encouraged to try a number of extension activities and projects:

· Creating oval forms from thrown shapes
· Blending multiple coloured clays to explore neriage techniques in a variety of forms
· Joining multiple thrown shapes to create larger forms
· Throwing and altering closed forms such as spheres and donuts
· Throwing with larger weights

During the first few weeks, students will have time to discuss, with the tutor, the proposed direction of their future ceramic skills and interests, to develop, with assistance, a potential weekly proposal for the second half of the course.

The tutor will then work with students at this time, both individually and with the group, helping them to achieve their goals whilst challenging them to extend their throwing and design skills. A variety of potential surface finishing skills and techniques will be considered in discussion for the final work.

Additional event information
Initially, class sessions will follow the style of the previous courses: Beginners and Intermediate Wheel, that is, starting with tutor demonstration and following with students endeavouring to repeat the processes and create the forms demonstrated.

Then, combining short lecture-style presentations, some sketching, group and one-on-one discussions, group and one-on-one demonstrations, along with handouts for ideas and quick homework tasks, the tutor will gradually direct students toward their intended goals and development of a plan in steps which can be reasonably implemented in the remaining 5 weeks.

As it is assumed that participants are familiar with the SCArt firing and glazing processes and protocols, individuals will be responsible for the fired completion of their own work.

Plaster Mould Making and Slip Casting with Marc Sauvage (18 Oct 2026)

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 23:30:00 GMT

Plaster Mouldmaking and Slip Casting runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at Intermediate to Experienced clayworkers.

The course covers mouldmaking and casting in greater depth than “Simple Moulds”. Initially, this course covers similar ground as the previous one, exploring a variety of drape and hump moulds as well as some of the same decorating techniques using coloured slips, clays and textures.

Following this, it advances on to one-piece and 2-piece moulds, addressing the various types and use of cottles, accurate plaster-mixing ratios, mould release agents, keying surfaces for correct alignment, undercuts in found forms, and using a variety of media to create the master form. This part of the course is intensive and physical, mixing larger plaster amounts, requiring significant attention to fine detail and is therefore recommended for participants with reasonable stamina, fitness and patience.

The last 2 weeks of the course is allocated for participants to create a more complex form, perhaps requiring more than 2 parts, and producing a form of their own design or choice with assistance from the tutor.

The registration price of this course includes one bag of clay and one bag of plaster per student.

Members - $400

Non Members - $430

Beginner Wheel Throwing with Marc Sauvage (19 Oct 2026)

Mon, 19 Oct 2026 07:30:00 GMT

Recommended for:For all beginners to wheel throwing. No experience is necessary.

Training objectives:

Identify safety aspects of working with clay and around a pottery studio.
Learn and practice the methods of:
- Weighing and wedging clay in preparation for its use.
- Applying the clay to the wheel.
- Controlling the pottery wheel speed and positioning of the potters arms to facilitate throwing.
- Centering the clay on the wheel.
- Opening up the clay.
- Pulling up the clay walls.
- Shaping and refining the form with ribs, and other pottery tools.
- Removing the form correctly from the wheel to conserve its shape.
- Making a handle.
- Making a lidded form (this will depend on student’s level of progression through the other stages).
- Recognising the clay stage of ‘leatherhard’ ready for trimming the form.
- Trimming techniques to finish off the form including making a ‘base foot’.
- Recognising the importance of identifying your pottery form ready for firing.

It is expected that each student should be able to make at least one of: a cylinder shaped mug, a plate, a bowl and a lidded bowl by the end of this course.

Included in the workshop cost is one best piece from each category which will be bisque fired by the studio, then glazed in class by the student, before having its final glaze firing by the studio. If students would like additional pieces fired, normal firing costs will be incurred at SCart, or outside firing services can sourced by the student.
