Learning to throw is not as easy as it looks. Watching YouTube videos can be confusing and give a false sense of the speed needed which leads to frustration and a lot of recycling! To become a good thrower, you need to understand the foundational moves and what the pitfalls are, this will enable you to progress quickly, making quality pots. You will soon be able to expand to bigger and better shapes with confidence.

I have taught thousands of students and have built this six stage formula into a fool-proof instructional repertoire. Choosing these videos will save you time and money and I am here to support you when you need it.
