6:00 PM - 8:00 PM    Advanced Wheel & Handbuilding Techniques with Maria - Advanced Wheel & Handbuilding Techniques - Summer 2026 - Maria Auad
If you already know the basics and want to strengthen your skills with more challenging advanced pottery techniques, you’ve come to the right place! Go beyond simple wheel-thrown forms with this workshop on thrown and altered pottery. This ceramics course focuses on advanced ceramic forms. More than creating ceramic cups, mugs, and plates! Starting from wheel-thrown components, this class will explore creating unique pottery vessels and pots. The instructor will introduce techniques, including throwing and various ways to hand-build them, adding your flair as you explore the altered side of pottery. The class will investigate construction methods using bottomless cylinders, thrown slabs, dicing, forms from multiple parts, and much more. This is also a perfect way to construct larger pieces. Participants will gain the skills and confidence to create more complex work. Forms explored - but not limited to - include cups/saucers, bowls, altered pitchers, vases, and teapots. Clay, glazes, and kiln firing costs are included in the materials fee, and essential tools are available in the ceramic studio. Prior throwing experience is required. $200 ($150 per participant + $50 materials fee). ContactMaria L. Auad334-663-8292lujanauad@gmail.com
