Goals of this Course

This class will introduce beginners to the fundamental techniques of wedging, centering and opening up the clay, pulling up the walls of a cylinder, cutting the pot off the wheel head, trimming and glazing. More advanced students will learn how to pull and attach a handle, and make a fitted lid for a jar.

All levels will focus on throwing techniques while learning to be aware of aesthetics; form, texture, negative space and color are all vital to our process. We will finish our time together by glazing and firing our pots! Individual instruction will be given during each class to fit each student’s needs. 

Required supplies for class: 

• All clay and glazes included. You will pay $.04 a cubic inch for any pots you want to fire.
• Tools (supplied): Bucket, sponge, pin tool, fettling knife, rib, wooden trim tool, trimming tools, wire tool,
• YOU BRING: Sketchbook (or paper and pencil), hand towel
