Pottery Wheel for All-Level Beginners: July 8, 2024 – August 5, 2024, Monday and Thursday, from 6:00–8:00
Monday and Thursday, from 6:00–8:00, July 8, 2024 – August 5, 2024
Have you always wanted to try your hand at throwing pottery on the wheel and never had a chance? Have you spent some time on the wheel but want an opportunity to gain confidence and hone your skills? Over the course of nine 2-hour sessions, we will focus on setting achievable goals and making them into a reality!
The newest potters will learn the basics of making classic vessels like cups and bowls. Those with some experience will focus on gaining confidence with foundational skills such as centering, pulling up the walls, creating consistent cylinders and more. Students who are already able to create simple wares on their own will instead concentrate on design and consistency by looking at strategies for more easily making matched pieces to form pairs or sets. We’ll also look at trimming and decoration, as well as how to add handles to our creations. Everyone will have functional food, oven, microwave and dishwasher safe wares to take home by the end of this class!
