Pursuing the Potter Wheel (4-weeks)

We will explore pottery on the wheel in this fun and inclusive 4-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 trimming, pulling & attaching handles, and glazing. Intermediate and advanced students will be guided through a technique of their choice, including repetitive forms, lidded vessels, large bowls, plates, platters, pitchers.
