Learn to Throw – May/June

Learn to throw on a potter’s wheel. Group lessons limited to 4 students. This class is specifically for adults.  Price is for 8 two hour classes and includes materials. The class will cover centering, throwing techniques, trimming and glazing . Techniques to decorate a pot, including adding clay, carving, sgraffito, and use of underglazes and washes will be covered.

This is primarily focusing on beginner techniques. Click here for a course outline .     8 week class outline.   If you have never worked with clay before, I would highly suggest  taking the 4 week ‘Intro to Ceramics class‘, first – or even the “One Day Intro to Throwing Class.“  If you have taken this class before, I have suggested a modified version of this class for you. Sign up for this class, and we can work on the projects detailed in this post. This Adult class will take place Wednesday evenings starting May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, June 5, 12, and 26 (There will be no class on the 19th of June)  from 6 – 8 pm. It will run 9 weeks. If you miss a class, you can sign up for an open studio, at your cost. 

No refunds allowed, unless I am able to fill your seat prior to class starting. Throwing on the wheel requires a certain amount of strength, it also requires that your hands will get dirty. If you are not sure you have the strength to do it, or will appreciate the wonderful tactile nature of the art, I would suggest an intro to throwing class first. 

Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the studio rules prior to signing up.
