You have completed the “Intro to Pottery” workshop, and developed a love of working with clay, so what is the next step?
At this point, I don’t think I have enough students to offer a separate “Continuing on” workshop, so what I am going to suggest is that you sign up for another :”Learn to Throw” 8 week workshop, and I will tailor the classes to accommodate your continuing interest.
What I am thinking the next round would look like:
- Challenge to make a 6 inch tall cylinder – that cylinder would then be made into a pitcher. Different types of lips would be demonstrated.
- Make a larger pot by adding two thrown pots together. Carving clay as a means of decoration.
- Make a chip and dip. Using slip trailing to decorate.
- Make a necked bottle . Using wax resist to decorate.
- Make 4 matching pedestal ice cream bowls.
- Small Casserole – covered bowl – focus on handles and knobs – functional and artistic.
- Finish up any work, begin glazing
- Glazing
This class will use much more clay than previous classes. In order to make it financially feasible for me, at the price offered, only one item will be kept per class, with the exception of the pedestal bowls.
Assuming all the pots make it through the various stages, you would be taking home 9 pots at the end of the course.
I hope to see you all again!
