What is
In drawing, there are three basic shapes: triangle, circle, and square.
Based on these shapes, you can make cups, mugs, jars, flower pots, and much more.
In the future, you can learn to combine these shapes and make vases, pitchers, bottles, and other complex forms.

Basic Pottery?
In pottery, these shapes are the cone, sphere, and cylinder.
Preparation: First, I'll tell you everything you need to know about preparing clay, tools, and setting up at the wheel. You'll set up your workspace and choose the right stool and wheel height.
This Course Will Cover
the Basic Shapes
01
Centering: Next, we'll move on to hand positioning. This is the most crucial step. Like a foundation. You'll learn to center the clay consistently and quickly.
02
Opening and Widening the Clay: Then, I'll teach you how to open up the ball of clay and pull up the wall. You'll throw your first cylinders—the foundation of any pottery piece.
03
Basic Shapes: Using the cylinder as a base, we'll learn to pull the other basic shapes: the cone and the sphere. The basics are mastered; now, let's finish the work!
04
Flat Plates: This is the only shape not based on the cylinder. But it's just as popular and easy to make, so we've included it in the course.
05
Trimming: Trimming is the process of finishing the bottom of a piece. You'll learn how to place and secure the piece at the center, how to trim, and what tools are needed.
06
Bonus: Attaching a Handle
A simple method for making a handle and important nuances of joining parts.

Those who have been learning pottery for a long time
They experience struggles and, possibly, still can't consistently center the clay and make a smooth cylinder.
In the first case, the teacher usually says that it's normal not to get it right the first time. You need more practice, and eventually, you'll feel the clay, and it will work out.

Those who immediately found a good teacher
In the second case, the teacher gives you a clear algorithm of actions, and you center the clay yourself in the first session.
And you practice not to feel it, but to reinforce what you've already felt.

TYPES OF PEOPLE
In most cases, to find a good teacher, you need to go to another city/country and pay a decent amount of money. Not just for the lessons, but also for flights and accommodation.
So, a five-day intensive course with me costs 100,000 RUB for participants from abroad.
Learning online in this case makes sense, as the result will be the same.
AND THE PRICE IS 5 TIMES MORE BENEFICIAL

FAQ
Yes, and that's not just an empty promise! Hundreds of students of Evgeny Pokidaev worldwide can confirm that learning the basics of pottery in 2 months is achievable. Simply watch the course videos, follow the recommendations step by step, and be sure to submit your pottery videos for feedback—you'll soon find that learning pottery is easy and enjoyable.
Yes, this course is designed for complete beginners, self-taught individuals, and those with pottery experience but can't achieve consistent results. The course covers all the basics of pottery in great detail, from preparing clay to drying and finishing your thrown pieces.
The course offers two plans: "Feedback from a Curator" and "Feedback from Evgeny Pokidaev." Regardless of the plan you choose, you can ask all your questions in the general chat and rest assured that each one will receive a detailed response.
Feedback is our strong suit :) The entire course team is committed to providing you with maximum value and ensuring you achieve consistent results. Every video you submit for feedback will be thoroughly reviewed, analyzed, and commented on.
With enough patience, you can learn pottery on your own, but having a teacher speeds up the learning process significantly. You could save years and learn in just a couple of months, using the freed-up time for other enjoyable and useful activities :) The course provides clear action algorithms that will inevitably lead to great and consistent results. You'll learn how and why typical pottery mistakes happen (all mistakes in pottery are typical), how to fix them, and most importantly, how to avoid them.
Even Evgeny was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of online learning :) But years of teaching people over the internet have shown that you can teach with words and gestures alone, and it produces much better results than getting your hands into students' pottery.
For learning, two sessions per week of 1.5-2 hours each are sufficient. It’s great if you can practice more often, but even a steady two sessions per week over two months will yield good results. Most pottery studios have coworking spaces available, typically costing a few hundred rubles per hour/day.
Almost every city, even smaller ones, has pottery studios or independent craftsmen with their kilns. You can ask them to fire your pieces, even if they don’t advertise firing services. Potters are generally friendly people and often accept newbies without kilns for firing. We also have our own list of pottery studios by city, so you can check it for your city and find a firing location.
Even one hour a week is better than doing nothing at all :) Yes, you will learn more slowly than you could, but a regular hour a week over 2-3 months will still yield results.
Unfortunately, not all courses provide a solid foundation; much depends on the instructor's skill and engagement. Single workshops are usually aimed not at teaching but at giving you an experience and a finished piece. Rarely do workshops explain the pottery process clearly and in detail. Our course is structured to address all your questions.
The course can be purchased on an installment plan, allowing for manageable monthly payments.
After this course, you won't have to deal with the "sometimes it works" situation :) By following the video instructions, you will develop confident pottery skills that will transfer to muscle memory and stay with you for life. If you practice diligently during and for some time after the course, you'll be able to throw consistently, even if you only come to the wheel once every six months.
The course access period is 6 months.
After the course, you'll be able to easily and enjoyably prepare clay for pottery, center it, pull cylinders, make cups, bowls, dishes, plates, trim pieces, make handles, dry items, and prepare them for firing.
You can postpone the start of the course by up to 3 months. To use this delay, after purchasing, write to @alesandria_techspec on Telegram with
