Do you want to fine-tune your throwing skills? Get all the tips for centering yourself and your clay, keep centered and make better cylinders.
This two-day workshop is designed to sharpen the foundational skills to making vessels on the potter's wheel. If you can throw perfect cylinders, you can make anything you can think of with some clay on the wheel.
On the first day, we will go over the three main steps of centering, opening, and pulling walls. On the second day you will go from the cylinder to more sophisticated forms. We will reference historical, as well as modern, ceramics for finding form inspiration.
This is a practicing workshop, be ready to recycle most of the pieces you make. You can keep one piece which is included in the price of the workshop with a $5 fee for any additional piece that you would like to keep.
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! Also, if you have long hair, make sure you have a way to put it up during class. But most importantly, come ready to have fun!
