Throwing a closed form on the wheel means sealing off the pot so that you create a hollow vessel. This form is then altered to create any number of useful items. In this class we will learn the techniques to close a thrown clay piece that we will then cut, sculpt, and carve to make bird feeders, holiday ornaments, jars with custom lids, salt cellars, and citrus juicers as well as other functional pieces. This is not a beginner’s class and requires the intermediate skills of a confident potter. Class instruction includes glaze techniques and instruction in other surface design techniques. 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. $120/course + $35/Materials fee
