“Introduction to wheel throwing” – 4 Week course with Gaspar Gorodisch

What you will learn:

• 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.

About Gaspar

His work explores the tension between fragility and structure, often integrating rupture, both accidental and intentional, as part of the final piece. Self-taught through apprenticeships, residencies, and collective learning, Gorodisch has developed his practice across Argentina, the United States, and Europe. In 2024, he completed a residency at Guldagergaard – International Ceramic Research Center in Denmark.
