DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY 10TH AND SUNDAY 11TH MAY 1.30 TO 4.30PM\n\nEver had difficulty with turning pots on the wheel?. \nLearn how to create chucks and chums to minimise damage to rims and\nfinish off narrow necked shapes professionally, whilst cutting back on\nthe time it takes to turn.\n\nYou will learn how to make your own chuck and chum to fit your pots,\nwhich can prevent your beautiful clay creations from tipping over or\ngouging, and trim pieces with narrow, uneven, or fragile rims.\nAlso learn how versatile chucks and chums can be to easily turn lids.\n\nA chuck is a hollow, hourglass-shaped clay support for pots to sit\nin. A chum is a cone shaped support for pots to sit over.\n\nINTERMEDIATE LEVEL THROWING.\n\nDAY 1\nParticipants will throw cylinders, bowls, narrow-necked pots, a\nvariety of lids and a chuck and a chum. \n\nDAY 2\nAt leather hard stage the above will be turned to create well-crafted\nfeet using a chuck and a chum. You will also learn how to turn lids\nusing these devices.\n\nTOOLS REQUIRED FOR BOTH DAYS: throwing tools, ruler, calipers\n(optional).\nWhile WSP has a range of tools in the studio to use, you might prefer\nto bring your own.\nNB: Clay is not included in the ticket price, so you can either bring\nyour own preferred clay or it can be purchased from WSP on the day.\n\nTHERESE MAY\n\nTheresa (Tess) started potting when she was 17 years old. Following 2\nyears of study at Queensland Art College, Tess worked as a production\nthrower at commercial potteries in Victoria and Queensland, including\nAustralian ceramics giant, Robert Gordon.
