WHEEL THROWING "CAMP"
June 23-27, 6-9pm 5 nights: Monday-Friday, $310*
*includes unlimited open studio for the week and use of studio tools and aprons. Does not include firing fees. These are based on the number and sizes of the pieces you fire.
This class is perfect for complete beginners or for new potters who really want to work on their skills before moving to an intermediate class. The class is 100% on the pottery wheel. You'll start the first night by learning how to "wedge" your clay and "throw" bowls on the pottery wheel.
Next, you'll learn how to trim and finish your bowls to prep them for the kiln. From there, you'll try other shapes like plates and mugs. Towards the end of the week you'll continue building skills as well as learn how to glaze your pots.

A mix of functional and decorative projects using traditional handbuilding methods such as slab, coil and sculpting. We will start with specific projects to develop great techniques, and then branch off into some open ended projects that are more student driven and allow for more creative exploration. Surface decoration will be emphasized throughout.
