Make your world turn 'round and 'round as you learn the basics of making pottery on a wheel. We will work on the basics of throwing (what potters call working on the potter's wheel) beginning with centering the clay. From there we will pull cylinders and learn to make bowls. Throughout the classes you will make discoveries about the fascinating process of turning wet clay into useful, functional pieces. While it may look like magic, there are specific techniques for working on the wheel that you will learn and practice to successfully create your functional clay pieces. We will glaze our fired pieces on the last day of class. Finished work will be ready to pick up within two weeks of the end of class. Materials fee covers clay, firings, and glazes. Please register only if you plan to attend all scheduled classes, as make-up classes cannot be arranged.
(No class on Tuesday, June 25) $120/Participant + $30/Materials.
