Learn to throw a variety of bottles with expert production potter Judy Nastov. In this hands-on workshop, you'll work on controlling wall thickness, moisture, and form as you coax clay into graceful, stable shapes. With over 40 years of experience of throwing bottles (a personal favourite), Judy will share her production-tested methods for achieving that perfect taper without collapse or wobble.
Whether you're aiming for sake bottles, bud vases, or oil cruets, you'll leave with the skills and confidence to throw bottles that are as structurally sound as they are beautiful.
This workshop is best for people with throwing experience looking to learn new forms or to refine their technique.
To get the most out this course, students need to be able to confidently centre, and throw cylinder and bowl shapes.
