Course Overview

In this immersive 5-day course, you will develop the skills to create larger, more complex forms on the potter’s wheel and expand your throwing techniques. You’ll be introduced to advanced methods such as coiling and sectional throwing, exploring the nuances of working with larger pieces.

The course emphasizes mastering the management of larger amounts of clay and learning to use your body effectively to shape and manipulate your work. Remy will guide you through group demonstrations and provide personalised one-on-one instruction in a supportive studio environment. Helping students refine their ability to create both tall, vertical forms and broad, low-profile pieces.

Ideal for students with a foundational understanding of throwing techniques, this course is designed to push your skills to the next level. All clay is provided, and a limited number of selected pieces will be bisque fired in the NAS kilns after the workshop.


Glazing courses are offered at other times of year in the NAS Public Programs.

Please note, it may take up to four weeks after your course ends for works to be available for collection. We will notify you when they are ready for pick up.

Remy Pajaczkowski-Russell is an artist working on Gadigal land where he produces a range of domestic ware as well as pieces for exhibition. His practice concerns itself with the ethical production of utilitarian pottery by repurposing waste materials into glazes and clays.

It was here that he developed his passion for woodfired ceramics and expressive slip decoration.
