In this 5 day wheel throwing class, we will cover the basics of working on the potter’s wheel. If you have never tried this before, please expect some difficulty in the initial stages. The focus will be to learn centering and then to pull shapes such as bowls (ex. berry bowls, soup bowls, colander, cereal bowls, etc) and cylinders (ex. Mugs, tumblers, sippers – based on the learning curve). This class includes Open Studio access only on the day of class. There will not be a glazing component to this class. Please see Glazing Class in the Resident Artist Series Schedule.

This class is for students who have bisque pieces ready to glaze.  These pieces could have been made in Open Studio, the Resident Artist Series, Workshops, etc.
