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. 4 Weeks | Saturdays | 10:00 am - 1:00 pm November 9, 23, Dec 7,14 *no class on November 16, 30* Mairi Meehan is an environmental scientist and potter from Cherry
