6-Week Pottery Wheel Course for Beginners - Autumn 2026

Instructor: Kristine Højstrup Søe

The course runs over six Wednesdays from 17:00 to 19:30: 21/10, 28/10, 4/11, 11/11, 18/11, and 2/12. Note that there are 14 days between the last two sessions - pieces need time to dry and be bisque-fired before glazing. The class has space for 5 participants.

The instruction covers the fundamentals of wheel throwing: wedging, centering, throwing, and trimming. On the final session, you will glaze the pieces you have made. Throughout the course, there are group demonstrations of processes and techniques as well as individual guidance, with ongoing discussions about form, materials, and decoration. After each class, time is set aside for shared cleanup and tidying.

Kristine Søe is a ceramicist and art educator with many years of experience in wheel throwing and teaching. She completed the foundational course "Craft and Technique" with a focus on wheel throwing at TEC in Gladsaxe as part of the Potter's Programme (2006) and holds a Cand.Pæd in Didactics - Material Culture from DPU. She teaches at evening schools and cultural centres in Copenhagen and Roskilde and primarily works with functional stoneware pieces on the wheel. See more of her work on Instagram: @Kristine_Soee
