This class is centered around the potter's wheel. Students will understand the basic tools and materials as well as proper studio safety and clean-up practices. Students will learn to prepare clay for throwing, center the clay on the wheel, open and pull clay walls, and create basic forms like cylinders and bowls. Finally, students will learn how to refine and trim forms, apply surface decoration and glaze, and understand the process of bisque and glaze firing.

The skills acquired in this class will the the foundation on which you can keep building with more advanced classes and/or open studio time.

Come ready to get messy. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty; don't worry about clay on your clothes - it washes right off! Most importantly, come ready to have fun!
