Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Savage (19 Apr 2026)

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 23:30:00 GMT

This 8 week course is recommended for potters that have undertaken an introduction wheel throwing course and have 6-12 months’ wheel throwing experience. Students must already be able to centre clay and create simple forms on the wheel.

The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.

As a “project-based” skill-development course, it focuses on learning and refining skills such as working with larger amounts of clay, throwing taller, shaping/bellying and collaring-in, repetitive throwing, throwing and turning feet, faceting & carving, handles: pulling, hand-built and extruded, shaping rims and spouts, as well as creating assemblages from thrown forms.

Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.

At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.

Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.

Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.

Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.

Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.

Introduction to Glaze Making With Marc Savage (20 Apr 2026)

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Course objectives:

During this course the trainer will:

By way of lectures, discussions and demonstrations, introduce both theoretical (chemical and physical requirements of a glaze) and practical aspects of glaze making (weighing, slaking, mixing, sieving and applying to test tiles).
Provide recipes for student use as well as directing to both online and text sources.
Outline the role of colourants, opacifiers & additives in glazes.
Supervise and assist with the process of discovering new ways to create and mix glazes.
Fire student tests on a weekly basis and discuss subsequent glaze results with students.
Run chosen tasks in small groups to expedite results.
Emphasise safety practices.

By the end of this course, the student will:

Confidently be able to create any glaze from a recipe.
Have tested and created between 15-20 different glazes from recipes, whilst also discovering new glazes from mixing experiments.
Complete a colour run on a base glaze, creating 6 new colourant variations.
Use the triaxial blend method, and working in a group of 3, mix 3 different glazes to create 21 new ones.
Learn how to turn any glaze recipe into a brush-on glaze.
Understand the 3 basic components of all ceramic glazes and be able to identify materials as Glass formers, Fluxes and Stiffeners.
Have completed tests for over/under glazes as well as materials melt tests.
Work with group shared glazes, both brush-on and dipping/pouring, to finish a number of small experimental pieces they have made.
Be able to observe safe practices while mixing glazes, both at SCArt and in their home studio.

Advanced wheel throwing with Marc Sauvage (21 Apr 2026)

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The primary focus of this course is to reinforce and refine the skills already developed by students who have completed the Beginner and Intermediate Wheel Throwing Courses, 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, students will be iencouraged 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.

Intermediate Wheel Throwing with Marc Savage (31 May 2026)

Sat, 30 May 2026 23:30:00 GMT

The course represents an opportunity for students to progress and consolidate their skills to produce a variety of more complex forms with growing confidence.

Projects covered include high, medium and low-profile bowls, “sets” of cups, chip’n dip platters, one-piece lidded containers, and tall necked bottle forms.

At the conclusion of the course, students throw and assemble a teapot or can focus on another project of their choice.

Most sessions will commence with weighing out and kneading of clay, followed by a demonstration of the lesson’s targeted skill/s and projects.

Students will then work at their own wheel, practising the skills and using the time to complete as much of the project as they can with teacher supervision and assistance.

Thrown forms will be taken home by the student so they can manage appropriate drying of the work for processing/turning the following week.

Whilst most projects can be completed in course time, it is expected that students will spend some extra time (either at home or the SCArt studio) refining, practising or finishing projects.
