Wheel for Adults
You know that you have longed to try your hand at making pottery on the wheel (what potters call “throwing"). This class, intended for the ABSOLUTE BEGINNER, will demystify what looks like magic by teaching you the basics of the fascinating process of turning wet clay into functional pieces for your home. By focusing on learning time-tested techniques and strategies you will learn to center the clay, pull cylinders and throw bowls. As you examine the throwing process in its many stages you will learn to critique your own efforts so that you can make corrections and improvements that will lead to success. Class instruction includes glazing techniques, and your creations will be fired in our kilns. Clay, glazes, and kiln firings are included in the materials fee, and basic tools and water buckets are available in the studio for class use. During the duration of the class you will be able to practice in the studio to help you develop the skills taught in class, moving you toward proficiency. $150 per person ($110 course fee, $40 materials)
Session I and Session II will teach the same material. Students should choose between sessions rather than registering for both.
