Exploring the Potter's Wheel (5-weeks)

Learn or expand your knowledge of wheel
thrown ceramics in this fun and inclusive 5-week class. Beginners will
be introduced to clay and wheel-throwing techniques. Students will learn
the technique of throwing, centering, and making cylinders, bowls, and
mugs. We will move through the process of centering, trimming, pulling
& attaching handles, and glazing. Intermediate and advanced students
will be guided through a technique of their choice: lidded vessels,
plates, and platters, pitchers and spouts, closed forms, or planters.
