Turning on the potter's wheel is the supreme discipline in pottery. However, the path to perfect vessels is long and rocky. Until you can turn your own exact, uniform and large vessels according to your imagination and then reproduce them, you need practice and the right guidance.
In my pottery school in Herzogenbuchsee/Switzerland I show you how to reach your goals. In small groups you will learn in a short time the most important handles and how you can practice yourself at home or in my workshop. You can find more info on my website vohang.ch
