We have been teaching, here in beautiful Ettington Park, for 9 years now and have perfected this system. Our members are the proof this system works wonders, they all started with Part One and are now making, bottles, bowls, lidded pots and teapots!

Throwing Part Three - Making shapes that match and getting good quality pots.
