Description

Learn or expand your knowledge of wheel thrown ceramics in this fun and
inclusive class with Mairi Meehan. 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.

Mairi is an environmental scientist and potter from Cherry Valley, who
has honed her craft across the globe, teaching and creating pottery in
Italy, Canada, Africa, and throughout the USA. While she calls herself a
"hobby potter," her creative practice was instrumental in completing
her PhD. Mairi brings her unique blend of scientific insight and
artistic passion to her classes, fostering a relaxed, enjoyable
environment where students can explore the art of pottery in a fun and
approachable way.
