3 Day Introduction to Throwing with Porcelain taught by Jo Davies

30 October until 1 November 2026

9:30-4:30 each day

Small Class with maximum of 6 students held at Cabalva Pottery in Herefordshire on the Welsh Border.

During this 3 day workshop Jo Davies will guide you through the first important steps towards throwing with porcelain. This course is for people who may or may not have worked with porcelain before but are curious about how to work with it for best result

During this class you will gain an insight into the beautiful qualities of porcelain, how to make a start at harnessing them, but also how to mitigate the problems that can come up when using this material. Jo will encourage you to approach porcelain with an open, curious mind in order to put aside anything you might have heard regarding porcelain’s temperamental reputation. If you know how to approach it then so many of these issues can be overcome so it’s best to try porcelain in a supported environment with a teacher who knows about the material.

Jo has 25 years experience of working with porcelain and uses it exclusively in her practice. She also has extensive experience of teaching others how to use it in the UK and abroad.

We will discuss how to harness the best qualities of porcelain through some simple exercises in throwing and turning, beginning with small cylinders, to bowls to bottle shapes as well as a short project. On day 3 you will be able to trim your pots in order to gain an understanding of the importance of trimming in working with porcelain.

This course will be held at Cabalva Pottery in Whitney-on-Wye overlooking the Brecon Beacons National Park, it’s a beautiful place to be for a few days. It’s also very close to the famous market town of Hay-on-Wye, home of the Hay Festival.

‘My recent study of lidded vessels has led me to consider again the way we own objects and some of the deep meaning we attribute to them, the responsibility they have in holding our emotion and even in storing physical relics. I developed the Curl Vessel as a new approach to lidded containers which has led me to create an installation of these vessels, each one with a unique shape and scale representing a unique human figure.

My installation of 7 lidded vessels ‘A Place to Keep our Ghosts’ was originally part of Wells Art Contemporary in October 2025, displayed on the Unknown Tomb at Wells Cathedral. Each urn is a focal point for an individual loss and a commentary on the importance of urns, which allow us to keep our ghosts close to us for as long as we still need them.’ -Jo Davies

One to One Throwing Master Class with Jo Davies

2.5 hours

Where: Jo Davies Studio in Hereford near the Welsh Border

Booking by arrangement with the studio - contact studio@jo-davies.com

These bespoke throwing classes are designed for people who have a little experience of wheel-throwing already and wish to improve or tackle particular recurring issues in their throwing. Jo is highly experienced at this type of class where close attention to the details of your technique can resolve problems. It can be very hard to understand why recurring stumbling blocks in your throwing keep happening without a good teacher observing and adjusting your technique. These classes are not about changing the way you throw, more about giving what are often small improvements that make big differences.

These problems may include:

Consistency in Centring

Pulling-up the clay

Gaining more height

Moving the weight from the base of pots

Improving the design considerations in the work

Throwing at a larger scale

Resolving issues that can come up later like cracking and warping

Gaining confidence in your throwing

We will discuss your learning requirements by email or over the phone ahead of the class to maximise your time. A single or short series of lessons may be preferred but often a single class is enough to highlight areas of attention and offer resolutions.

Days and times are arranged flexibly with some evening availability. You can either purchase a class and then contact the studio to arrange a time or contact the studio first to check availability before purchasing studio@jo-davies.com

What's included:

Clay - unless otherwise requested stoneware clay will be used

A ceramic tray with a gently undulating edge creating a practical lip that’s visually arresting. Hand-thrown on the wheel by Jo Davies and finished individually, each unique porcelain tray is glazed with tactile, satin-matt stoneware crackle glaze in white, or a satin-matt manganese glaze in black.

Part of Jo’s full Chinese Tea Set, the Tray, with a practical pouring lip, neatly holds Cups, Brew Pot and Small Jug, and manages the spilling often involved in the traditional making of Chinese tea. More than just a tea tray, it can be bought separately and used for any function, display or decoration.

The Chinese Tea Set is a response to the wonderfully diverse tea sets Jo encountered while taking tea on a 2018 trip to Jingdezhen - the home of Chinese porcelain. The Set reflects both the Western and Eastern traditions and rituals of tea drinking, bringing together divergent ideas of form and function in a set that unmistakably carries the unique Jo Davies aesthetic. Created to celebrate the eclectic and traditional tea sets used in daily life in China, you are invited to choose matching or complementary coloured elements in creating your own set.

This ceramic tray is part of Jo Davies’ Unique Objects range, decorated with abstract splashes of cobalt blue oxide fired into the surface and 24ct goldleaf added after firing using traditional gilding techniques.

A round flat porcelain tray with a gently undulating edge and practical pouring-lip that’s visually arresting, this Blue and Gold iteration of the Tea Set tray can be displayed horizontally but may be preferred as a wall piece, an unusual decorative plate. The gilding is stabilised using traditional shellac but is not designed to withstand excessive use so should be treated carefully.

The tray design was originally developed as part of Jo Davies’ Chinese Tea Set and the blue and gold surface treatment was also developed separately in response to the use of cobalt in Ming Dynasty porcelain. In this piece these parallel developments have been married to create something new.

As with all items in the entire range, this piece is hand-thrown on the wheel by Jo Davies and glazed with tactile, satin-matt stoneware crackle glaze in white, with cobalt and goldleaf decorative surface decoration.

This small ceramic jug has a tactile teardrop shape that has been hand-thrown on the wheel with a straight stem-handle impressed into the side, creating an undulating shape inside the jug.

A jug is a key part of a Chinese Tea Set: the tradition within Chinese culture is to pour from the Brew Pot, where the tea leaves have been left to steep, into a small jug where the beautiful colour of the tea can be seen with greater clarity before being poured into tiny cups.

It’s not just for tea, though. Like all the elements that make up the Chinese Tea Set, this side-pour jug can be bought separately and used for any purpose.

As with all items from the Jo Davies Studio, this piece is hand-thrown on the wheel by Jo Davies and finished individually. Glazed with tactile, satin-matt stoneware crackle glaze in white, or a satin-matt manganese glaze in black

One of the elements of Jo Davies’ porcelain Chinese Tea Set, the Brew Pot is central to the tea-making process: the place the leaves unfurl and infuse the water with colour and flavour.

The cups of a Chinese Tea Set are exquisitely small, designed for savouring small sips. A tactile shape that invites touch with Jo’s classic twisting, wheel-throwing lines undulating up the porcelain vessel. Finished with a high gloss glaze in white reflecting the traditional preference for pale colours in drinking vessels for tea.

As with all pieces in the entire range, each cup is thrown on the wheel by Jo Davies and finished individually by hand.

The elements that make up the Chinese Tea Set can be bought separately and used to perform any function our customers would prefer.

The Chinese Tea Set is a response to the wonderfully diverse tea sets Jo Davies encountered while taking tea on a 2018 trip to Jingdezhen - the home of Chinese porcelain. The Set reflects both the Western and Eastern traditions and rituals of tea drinking, bringing together divergent ideas of form and function in a set that unmistakably carries the unique Jo Davies aesthetic. Created to celebrate the eclectic and traditional tea sets used in daily life in China, you are invited to choose matching or complementary coloured elements in creating your own set.

A jug is a key part of a Chinese Tea Set: the tradition within Chinese culture is to pour from the Brew Pot, where the tea leaves have been left to steep, into a small jug where the beautiful colour of the tea can be seen with greater clarity before being poured into tiny cups.

The tactile teardrop shape has been made with exaggerated twisting throwing lines around its circumference. The elements that make up the Chinese Tea Set can be bought separately and used to perform any function our customers would prefer.

As with all items in the entire range, this handle-less jug is hand-thrown on the wheel by Jo Davies and finished individually. Glazed with tactile, satin-matt stoneware crackle glaze in white, or a satin-matt manganese glaze in black.

The Indented Beakers have been designed as comfortable drinking vessels for coffee, cold drinks or tea. The deceptively-simple shape is intriguing, with indentations intended as ergonomic resting places for fingertips.

These tactile porcelain beakers have been handmade on the throwing-wheel and then subtly indented by hand. Each one is unique within this family of beakers.

Small handmade white porcelain pinch pots, with a gentle flare at the rim. Originally designed as salt and pepper pinchers for the table, they are perfect for seasoning and dipping sauces. Away from the table, they serve as a stylish ceramic ring dish or small tray for keepsakes and jewellery.

Finch Bowls are named for the little finches of the Galapagos Islands, where the birds are famously varied yet closely related to each other. These pots, which nestle pleasingly in the hand, are made to the same design but each is intentionally unique.

Each bowl is made individually from wheel-thrown porcelain and is weighted for stability. The satin-finish, white crackle glaze, fired to stoneware kiln temperatures, gives these tiny yet solid bowls a marble-like feel. Highly tactile and pleasing to the touch, these bowls are enjoyable to use.
