Jo Davies specialises in wheel-throwing porcelain. This course is designed for potters with some existing skills in making wheel-thrown ceramics but it isn't expected that your skills are perfect and people who still consider themselves close to beginner level or above are welcome on this course.

You will gain insights into how to work with porcelain on the wheel and overcome some of its challenges in this supportive course. Jo will use wheel-throwing demonstrations of core, simple shapes as well as some more challenging shapes to show you approaches to using porcelain that will allow you to develop after the course. Through demonstrations, discussion, and practice, Jo will guide you through using a creative but intentional approach.
