Great Classes

Description

Take your ceramic skills to the next level in this intermediate wheel throwing class. Students are invited to practice wheel-throwing techniques with the goal of refining your approach, building new skills, and challenging yourself to throw bigger and more advanced forms. Barbara will focus on techniques for throwing with consistent results, while also emphasizing the importance of design for making functional pots. Interested students may work on component making such as lids, spouts, handles, and/or matching sets. Everyone will finish their work with surface decoration and/or glazing.

Prerequisite: Students should be able to centre 3 lbs of clay.

Clay cost: $40, includes glazing and firing. This cost will be paid directly to the instructor at the first class.  Additional clay may be purchased if necessary.
