Introduction to wheel throwing
4 week beginner workshop by Gaspar Gorodisch
November 2025
Mondays 10, 17, 24, 1/12 at 6:30 pm
At Boso Studio
I’m very happy to announce my first workshop since settling in London!
Over four weeks at BoSo Studio, I’ll be teaching my approach to wheel throwing for beginners, a small, hands-on course focused on process, awareness, and building a solid understanding everything that we do on the wheel.
This course takes a holistic approach to throwing.
We’ll move step by step: from wedging clay and centering, to lifting a cylinder, altering shapes, tap-centering, and trimming, both on the wheel head and on the chuck.
Along the way, we’ll focus on tactile feedback, movement, posture, and different techniques, learning how to make adjustments through observation and repetition.
Each session combines demonstration and guided practice, with the goal of giving you a clear structure for how to keep practicing on your own.
My aim is for you is to leave with the ability to understand the process, to learn from mistakes, embrace accidents, and use them as tools for improvement.

I’ve been working with clay for six years and teaching for the past three, leading group and individual workshops.
My background in music, industrial design, and culinary arts and my relationship with many injuries informs how I approach clay and how I teach.
Romper es parte del proceso (breaking is part of the process) is central to how I work and teach. -

This workshop focuses exclusively on throwing and trimming.
All participants will receive their bisque-fired pieces at the end of the course.If you wish to have your work glazed, you have two options:
For £7 per piece, a Boso studio technician can glaze it in a shiny white glaze.
Alternatively, you can join Ania Perkowska’s one-day glazing workshop at BoSo Studio, where you’ll learn about glaze materials, safety, and different application methods. (I heavily recommend)
