The course takes place every Saturday of the month, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM.

- Day 1: A brief lecture on pottery, demonstration of wedging clay, centering clay on the potter’s wheel, making a short cylinder, and removing it from the wheel.

- Day 2: Refining a cylinder and forming basic shapes.

- Day 3: Introduction to trimming techniques, making, and attaching handles.

- Day 4: Glazing and loading the kiln, with demonstrations and explanations.
