For the beginner, this 7-week class series is designed to instill confidence in learning how to make your own dishes on the pottery wheel. Demonstrations include: centering, raising walls, throwing wide bowls, and pulling handles for cups, vases and jars. Stain, slip and glaze introduction to surface design. Gain knowledge of the historical development of wheel-thrown pottery and techniques. Develop the ability to throw pots on the wheel.
This workshop is developed over the course of six weeks and designed for both beginner and intermediate ceramicists who delight in learning from the clay, how it speaks, stands, falls and moves off the wheel! We will begin with a personal experience of the clay medium through sculptural pinch techniques followed by an introduction to slab building possibilities using studio Slump and Hump Molds.
Open Studio offers a place to connect with your creative self among others who are also exploring the possibilities with the clay medium. This evening is non-instructional. Everything you need is available to you for hand building (extruders, slab rollers and banding wheels) as well as 6 wheels available on a first come first served basis.
