This class is for students at all levels wanting to learn or improve at centering and pulling clay to make cylinders. Most vessels of height on the wheel start with cylinders as the foundation - mugs, bottles, jugs, pitchers, and vases are examples. We will focus on techniques and tips for centering various amounts of clay, up to 5 pounds, , as time and experience permits. Students are expected to spend time practicing techniques and tips given in class to center clay and create cylinders of various sizes. Students will be required to make at least three, well made, functional cylinders on the wheel by the end of this class. Note: Recycled/'pugged' clay may be used in this class for practice. Instructor focus is on centering and pulling only to produce well-made cylinders. These well made cylinders can be used as functional kitchen and bathroom containers, planters, and for other uses. No experience necessary! $135 Class Fee + $20 Materials Fee.
