12:30 PM - 2:00 PM    Learning to Make Pottery on the Wheel for Youth - Learning To Make Pottery On The Wheel For Youth (M/W) - Summer 2024 - Amy Kaiser
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.
