THROWING ON THE POTTER'S WHEEL:  Beginning/Advanced Beginning
A fun and totally hands-on foundation course in making wheel-thrown pottery.  Designed for absolute beginners as well as folks who have thrown before but need to get restarted or refreshed -- or just back into the studio to make more pots!

Learn to center the clay, to create bowls, mugs, vases, covered dishes, and other forms, to wheel-trim your pieces, and to glaze for beautiful results.

A very satisfying experience!
