There’s a couple of kick wheels at the Wellington Potter’s Association studio. I’l give one a whirl next bash. Looks like a difficult exercise – but fun.

I attended the Masahiro workshop at WPA studio today. Just fab to see someone working in clay. Working the wheel in the opposite direction to the western tradition – typically Japanese potters work on a clockwise rotation. He made a two-piece pot using a blowtorch to dry off each part as he went.

I took the leap and joined the Wellington Potters Association. They have a communal studio. How fab! Just what I need. Wheels, kilns, all sorts – lovely. Will start slowly and get into it. Looking forward to it.
